This is just ridiculous. What the actual fuck? Hey, what the actual fuckers and welcome to the 200th and final WTAF of this country podcast I'm joined by the man who's got balls of steel. It's a moment.

I don't know what he might have seen. It's Neil. Hello, pal. How are you, my friend?

I'm okay and we are joined by one of our favourite ever people. Ladies and gentlemen, the fan quiz, fan quiz of the year, fuck whatever it means. It's Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor. Hey.

Let's just explain a little bit. The original plan was that episode 200 was going to be the live show that as we record this was the Friday just gone. But the audio isn't fantastic. So I didn't want to finish with a damp squib.

It's squib, isn't it? It's not squib. I think it's squib. It's squib.

It's a bit of everything. It's squib. I'll examine it later. It's squib.

It's squib. Thank you, Eleanor. Are you all right, Hash? They are my God for once.

It's just 200 episodes. It's just 200 episodes. It's a what I did think instead. And this will go out on our Patreon as well as our This Country this week.

I thought we'd have Eleanor here. We'll just reminisce about the live show, all of the things that went right, all of the things that went wrong. The amazing ending which Eleanor will give us a little insight into as well. So Friday.

Now, the one thing that happened was, unfortunately, there was quite a few people that couldn't make it due to whatever the name of the storm was. The thing that shut down on the celebrity. Exactly. They didn't make it because they were self isolating.

It was a shame that certain friends couldn't be there. But it was just lovely to be in a room. It was people that we haven't seen for such a long time. So, Eleanor, how was it for you?

It's just so good catching up with friends. You don't realise how much, you know you've missed them. But until you're there with them and the banter starts again, and you just catch up and realise how much you've missed them and stuff. We'd all been really building up to this.

We've just known about it for so long. But it was quite a, yeah, the British face on Friday was insane. And like, oh, the drive-up, I was like, can I get a hurry up? I can't miss and stop it.

Yeah, no, it was just so good finally seeing everyone again and just kicking off, wearing left off like the last 18 months till the year, something happened. Oh, that's good to know. So, obviously we had Keras and Elmskin, comedian opening for us. We didn't get to see a lot of it because obviously we were backstage, went around like headless chicken.

So, did she go, well, obviously she went down well, we could do the last thing. Yeah. Oh, fuck me, I thought I was going to be mad at the moment and take me off because I had that much of a stitch that I couldn't breathe. I was laughing so much.

She ripped my husband to shreds and she was like, he's the most unlikely person, but she was calling him a Pee-Doh because he's friends with Josh. It's just the most unlikely thing you've ever heard, but it was so fucking funny. And then she was like chatting to her because she recognized Josh using the front row and stuff. She remembered him from last time.

And we were targets right on the front row. And then she was trying to do people next time she turned out to be coppers and said that was brilliant because then she was like, whoops, I'm taking people now. And then there was someone in the audience where I'm fortunate to laugh. I noticed that and her name was Gillian Cooper.

I tell you what was really funny was in the break. I went to the toilet and I could hear someone in the next cubicle. And then I wasn't sure if they were laughing or crying because it was a mixture of both. I was like, I'm not sure if I can hear about you.

I'll leave it for now. Then I could hear somebody else talking and then he said, are you laughing or crying? And she was like, I don't know. I don't know.

And it was Amy that was the other person that asked. And so the person that was laughing crying was the Gillian Cooper. And Amy was like, you're right. And she went, she went, yes, and I just missed an outside and somebody said, oh, I feel really sorry for that.

Well, when I was laughing, it was me. And then he went, well, I was the one that said, I'm really sorry for you. That's right. So I went, so I laughed and I cried because I don't know.

It's just so funny because I can't, the more I try and stop it, the more I'm doing it, the more I can stop it. Oh my God. So Amy, I was going to make you feel any better. Kerris ripped me to shreds of my dysfunctional family and my 13-year-old daughter and that.

And I was like, oh, okay, it's not just me then. And I said, what does it make you feel any better? She just called my husband a peanut. And I was like, you know, Kerris now was like self-help group in the toilet.

Oh my goodness. We opened the door and literally stood right outside the door. It was Kerris. And I was like, I'm going to get over you.

What are you doing? You know, listening to her. It was so funny. It was like, yeah, you couldn't have timed it any better.

But no, she did go very really well. She spoke funny. She is a legend. She deserves a lot more.

And it wasn't even, she wasn't making jokes per se. It was just observational and working with what she had. That's what she's a genius at. I think that's also good because like every one of her shows is going to be different then because she's working with a different crowd, but she is so good at working the crowd.

And I tell you what, I would be shit at that because it's to remember people's names. She's got Steve over there and I forget. I wouldn't know what their names are. So yeah, fair play.

I was watching a bit of a to the side when she was doing the thing about finding out who the oldest person in the crowd was. When someone said they were 60, I was thinking, come on, dad, you're fucking 72. You're in the audience. And then all of a sudden he, like you must have done or someone did because I can remember her saying what she name and he said, Rady and I think someone shouted is how that's that.

Really? Have we met before? Have we met before? And I'm sure they met at one of the episodes that we turned like years ago.

I'm sure they did. But it's a great way to start the night. I think all the guests, I think Phil came on and was like, that is carry on best. Yeah, you are too.

And Mark was great doing his team. And he got us out of the shit a little bit when one of the videos wouldn't work and the one who asked Helena, the bingo. Now the bingo went on for way longer than I thought it was going to go. Is that anybody's thought?

Especially the one line. I thought it's going to go in like five minutes. But what was it? Twenty five squares?

You only only have fifteen. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, if you went to like a normal bingo game, well, unless you buy the whole six, like two or six, but in any one box you would have fifteen. So you've only got to get a line out of fifteen rather than twenty five.

It's just a little bit bigger. But honestly, I'd play three four fucking games and that. Because I was like, I mean, we made a rod for our own back because you could only get one of those little spinny pages of balls. I wish you'd fucking said because we've got an electronic machine.

Oh, I wish you'd have said like, all right, because we've got one sat and you had to. With everyone that we had, I mean, the balls are talking about Neil again. The balls were tiny. Yeah, it's a little bit too nice.

It's tiny little number. Then we had to transfer the number to the sheet so I could see what the name was. Yeah. I mean, we were hoping it was going to be a bit of a joke because the fact that we're pissing the bag.

I was amazing. You never dropped any of those balls. I nearly did. And then, but then we did have it where I think you said something like sixteen.

We've already had that one somewhere. Yeah. But, you know, I was a good laugh. And it was the same group winning twice as well.

And you were like, oh, that was weird. That was weird. Yeah. No, it generally happens there because if you've got one, you obviously got less to tick off in your house.

Right. You've already ticked off a lot in your sheet. Was it the same group the one? The other one.

Was it somebody else? No, the third one. It was like, nephew of Kerris. He was a member of the magazine.

Oh, yeah. Somebody that's seen you anyway. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it was, I don't know.

Did many people say anything about your dress thing? Yeah. People were asking about it and some people took some photos and stuff afterwards. Yeah.

Because I completely forgot to mention it. It was on the stage all the time. We completely forgot to mention it. And we were just trying to get the end and so people were stood on the floor and trying to get photos of it.

And John was like, come here. Bring it back and get a photo of it. And then he went out in the foyer with it and so he had to take photos of it. So obviously we had a bit of a delay in the interval as well, which was for scene and beyond our expertise.

It was all to do with the theatres and there was something going wrong. Once it opened and started, I think people were ready for it. Did the opening video and the full moon go all right? Yeah.

Well, it came out with that because she was laughing before it even played. She'd gone. People were sort of looking at it like what you laughing at. And then so they were all then looking.

And then they all saw. And then people did get picked up on it. I could be able to start anything laughing about it. So we were.

Obviously the show played out as a show played out and we were ready. I was already thinking, oh, we're going to get the feels because of the memories video that I had at the end. And then Kerris obviously said, Oh, no, hang on a minute. Hang on a minute.

And there hasn't been many times in anything that I've done where I've been genuinely surprised. And that was a huge surprise. Because the thing is when it comes to things like surprises, when it comes to anything like doing the goal disc for you, Neil, I like being in control of those things. Does that make sense?

I like being the person that's giving the surprise, not being the person. Yeah. You don't have no idea what's going on. Yeah, I'm exactly that person.

It's going to be a stripper. I'm never going to surprise on me. It's not that person. It's that thing that you feel weird that you're not in control.

So to then be told, you know, just come over here and I think, Oh, this is weird. This is weird. So you, you're, how far away? When, what was the idea?

When did you first have this idea of doing this? I think you and I started messaging when we were doing the. We had a, this country this week where you said that this was going to be the end and that was it. And so during that this country this week, we were messaging saying we've got to do something and then we set up a group adding everybody we knew from the dump gang and all of that and, you know, those are the dog and the podcast, you know, like Liam and stuff like that.

And I'm set up a group. I was like, we've got to do something. We need to arrange something and ask videos or pictures and messages and stuff. And, you know, that's like back in June and it's just been a slog.

So getting, what do these happen? Keep reminding them and stuff. So then, yeah, we set the deadline to early in November and Kim's daughter edited it all together. Because I'm a fucking clue.

And so yeah, we were just, and we realized only can't receive a video of fucking Facebook because you can't buy a load it. So they're being emailed and it's very complicated. But no, so we were asking lots of people and lots of people were saying they were going to do something and they just never even got around to it. So it could have been even more than it was.

Welcome to my world with things like that. Ellen, as Jesus. So yeah, so and then quite late in the day, actually, we have the idea that we would sort of make it a little bit podcasting and do our own, but at the beginning to introduce it as a way to kind of introduce a video and stuff like that. So we did that.

We thought that was quite a nice link in there. That was a great idea. And that's why this country this week, not so long ago, I was asking you how to record zines. And I said that it was for a work and I had to teach them and it was for that.

Yeah. And then Kim, so Kim's daughter goes to that college, I think. So she got hold of Kieran's details. Right.

And has been emailing him about could we play the video and stuff like that. Then we had another group set up with Kerris and Phil and like we've got to stop them. And luckily you were telling us, I think this country had this before the show and you said, you know, at the end, we're going to say, I'll go by using the stage and play a video. So then panics, they can't leave the stage.

If they go off the stage, they're going to get back on the stage. So they were trying to work out that order and stuff. And we were like, we speak to the Kerris and Phil, you've got to find out the order and you've got to stop them before that happens. And Kim was certainly more panicky than I was.

I was quite lucky that it was very panicky. Even on the day, Kieran and Kerris and Kerris and Kerris and everything. But no, it all worked out in the end. I'm not an emotional person, but that nearly broke me.

It really did. We have only on power going. I was very close, but I think it was that it was, I'll tell you what it was. It was that thing of not being used to, sounds like I don't ever get surprised or anything, but it was that thing of not being used to having a surprise.

And it sort of took me out of the moment a little bit. I think if I would have thought that there would be any inkling that there was going to be something at the end, I would have been sort of thinking, oh, someone's going to happen at the end. I would have been a mess. I would have been a mess.

But I think it all sort of like was like an out of body experience. It really was weird because I don't think either of us are very good at getting praise. You know, if anyone says you get praise, it's always, oh yeah, but you know, this didn't work very well. So to get a whole video of people and a lot of people saying, you know, helped you, helped you through lockdown and that it means, and for all the things that sort of went wrong on the night and, and we were just talking about before we went on air.

I don't particularly think it was our best show out of the ones that we've done just to get that it made it all. Yeah. That moment of having that video of hearing people that have become friends because they've obviously loved this country, but they've listened to our show or they watched the Patreon stuff. And it just made it all worthwhile.

So, you know, we could have foregoed the whole hour, hour and a half of the show, just play that bit at the end. But I think without the podcast, I'm not sure that there would have been reasons for the dump gang to have met. I think the dump gang would exist. Yeah.

But without having already had, you know, right back in the early days, those two live podcasts right back at the beginning, the first one was the first one, but the second one as well, that of all, everyone's again, and kind of relatively uniform groups. And so from that, we then did other things like, you know, when we counted North leech and stuff and then we had football and that weekend, I'm not even sure that, I mean, I don't think if it was just a group on Facebook and they were meeting up in North leech, I wouldn't have had anything to do with that. And I have to do that. That's just a little bit weird.

Because we go to the live show and then, you know, I'm stood at the bar and Kate's there. She's like, Oh, hi, I'm Kate. I'm the dump gang. And then, you know, he starts to meet people, then all this anything here.

Oh, Kate's going to be that weekend and Ross is going to be there. He's going to be there. Well, I'll go along so that we can then. And so those live shows gave us the reason to then be otherwise and know that you won't meet enough of a real budget cycle ever.

Yeah. And that's the whole point is the fact that you're putting faces to names rather than just being a name on a, on a, what do you call it Facebook board or a Facebook post or whatever. Yeah. Definitely.

I mean, the other shows that we don't we did things like, did you go meet up with the rest of them the following day or not really because of the snow, we were planning to, but we kind of panicked a bit about the snow. So we wanted to get home and we heard, well, the report was going to see the next day. So the report was going to snow all morning. And then there was also the wind and stuff of clothes lots of rain time here.

So we were less like, now we're going to get home. But they did beat up. Yeah. I mean, I mean, Doug obviously felt like when I saw him that he'd had a good day when I saw him on the on the phone, because he was he was when I popped out.

I think it was during my been break time. He was he was after then. He was well, well gone. I think he's like drinking in the keepers like for Eden.

Oh, did he? Bless him. Yeah, but it was just and to get that. I mean, I had a banquet when I got home that night.

I had my I had my beans. I had my crumpets. I had my quavers. I was just stuffing my face.

Pointingly small fuse bar. I did. My wife did. My wife enjoyed the fuse bar.

Where did you find those? Online. I think India still sells fuse bars. This company that you know, like the American stuff like this hard to get.

This company buys all of your chocolate stuff. It's from there. They're like £1.80 a part. And it's smaller than you think it's going to be.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. The crumpets were lovely. Did you put the beans on your crumpets?

I did put the beans on my crumpets. Yeah. And I tell you what, I'm not ashamed to say I had all fucking six. In one go.

I burr them up. And I just like dollop the beans all over them. I had bean juice all over my shirt. It was just everywhere.

But I tell you what, there was that and I had my tango orange. It was lovely. Because we hadn't eaten all day. You know, I didn't I think I had a sandwich at dinner time.

So I was hungry. I really felt and that it was absolutely beautiful. Because that was an update. It took me and Kim quite a long time to come up with that.

Well, A to come up with something that we know there was a picture that Karen had done for you that we wanted to do something else we couldn't think what to do. So we've done that. And then we came up with this getting one thing from every episode. Then we had to go for all the fucking episodes.

The one thing that we could buy and then source them all. Do you think we could find a fucking can of tango anywhere? Really? Anything?

No, nothing. You can buy fat. You can buy cap. You can buy cap.

You can buy cap. You can't buy fat. You can't buy fat. No.

That's my fault in the end. I'm looking forward to my pairs. That's my weekend treat. My grandson's got his eye on that.

I'm not going to get a spider man at the moment. Because was Karen was there, wouldn't she? She was. Yeah.

She was. Why didn't she come up and say hi? That was the thing. I don't know.

She said the mark up quite a long time ago. I'm probably almost back in June when we first started talking about it. And said, you know, was that okay? I was like, oh my God, it's fucking amazing.

And then back in October November, once you've done all the effort, she updated it because I think Paul Figg and Jenny Bixen out were missing or whatever. And she did a version where I had a massive crayon on and I was like, oh, yeah, she updated it. And the next thing I know, I get a fucking parcel for an approach and John's like, what have you been ordering again? I think.

And it was done up. Like fucking knocks. I only find it easy to get into fucking unpalice. It was about seven minutes.

I read the cake. All of her rapping. I checked it all. That's how it was wrapped up.

I was not there to get into. Lesser. Yeah. You'll probably still be there right now.

So yeah, she came up to me at the end and she's like, oh hi, I'm Karen. Yeah, she's very shy. Lesser. I will because I've obviously just been a whirlwind.

I will send her a message a little bit later just to say thank you. It was a check because it is, it's people like Karen and stuff like that that you've not met before. It's just nice to be able to put a name to the family. It was lovely to see Julie.

Haven't seen Julie for ages. Exactly. It was lovely to see Julie just to see everybody. It was really nice.

And to be able to actually find me out of the hugs. Yeah. Because if it had been this week, we'd have been fucked recording this because everyone would have had masks on and back to the distance, isn't it? And probably would have been less people there because people wouldn't be wearing their own name.

Yeah. So, yeah. So there's a few things disappointed personally. If we're going to go through a little bit this way, local news disappointed me a little bit with the audio visuals.

It's a very just come on. The one thing that I was personally really laughing at and I don't think many people may have loved this is the staring competition with Mandy where it just went on. I loved it. It was getting uncomfortable for the audience.

It was funny. No. I was just waiting for it because it was just a longer it went on the more uncomfortable it became. And you're like, this is going to end the scene.

It was just really awkward. But it was funny awkward. It's like this country. Isn't it?

Yeah. It is weird. You only need one bit of audio visual to go wrong. And it just strips away the whole confidence you have of like doing the next joke because you don't know whether it's going to be there.

And it broke my heart a little bit with the Porsa Heedy. I mean, he sends us a video and then it doesn't bloody work. You know, so. But then there have been technical difficulties every show.

So without it. And they still saw the video from porn. We still saw all of the bits. I don't know.

Would you want it to have run smoothly or maybe? Would it be nice to have a fine or something? No, but all this adds to it. The jankiness I think sort of is a little bit like this country in it.

It's a little bit no-fi and a little bit sort of budget kind of thing. Yeah, you're right. I mean, I don't think you'd want it to be completely polished. I think that's.

And again, we were so I don't know whether you agree with this, I don't know. But I was saying to Neil before is that I think the one thing if we ever do another show is that we don't write a script for it. Because the one thing. Yeah, the one thing that Neil Neil Neil and I do I think we're pretty good at is the natural conversation.

And I find myself constantly on Friday just head down looking at the script. Instead of engaging with the audience and you're constantly saying yes, Neil. So what happened then? And there's no need for that.

Yeah, because otherwise things like examine eight would never happen. You know, and those little bits that you could be trying to write for 100 hours and never get something as funny as going to examine eight. I mean, I guess have your basic outline. You're going to do the bingo.

You're going to do the moments, whatever, but then then not playing anything else beyond that path. I should have gone with our bullet points again. Again, you look at it. The natural I think the most natural moments was when we were talking to Phil and talking to Mark and then you know that was written down.

That's just like we do the podcast in the fact that we just think of a question in our head and then you trust yourself because you've done 199 episodes. You can do it and it's proven and it works. Have the confidence to know that that will work whether it's there or not. Well, it's fucking all right saying that now.

No, no, no, I think it doesn't. I don't think the technical issues make any difference because it is made and it is put together with such love and. You know, like. You're putting all of yourselves into it.

Do you know what I mean? And it's time we love and it's done to the best that you can and the technical difficulties will be on your control. That was the theatre. So yeah, yeah, you've done the best you can to show one and that's what matters.

Yeah. Yeah. And again, in the end, as long as you feel that and other people feel that then it doesn't really matter. You know, I think it's from from a technical point of view from our side.

Yeah, you know, you want things to go in it. But like I say, the fact that we got to say hello to everybody, hug everybody to get that amazing video at the end to get the gifts that we got at the end which, you know, was thoroughly not deserved. It was amazing. It's so amazing that in.

It's such a surprise. And I'm going to say you think you get really blow us away. Absolutely. But the big question is what did you think of your golden parsnip?

Well, the fact is I'm fucking dismayed and a cat's get told all of every time they even try and sniff it with just pry to not go straight. Yeah, no, I fucking love it. And it's probably going to be like that. I can see the P.

Do's arm now. That's got to be the lightest award you've ever won. I was excited to be heavier. I had a little bit of felt in the other little shed.

I thought I know where I can put that right at the top. And it is typical like janky WTA because you don't want to look at it too closely because you'll see the bits that are like jacking out. I took it out of the bag and it was just on the other side. My mum's like, she's like, what the fuck is that?

Fucking golden parsnip. What do you think it is? You've never seen golden parsnip? I never seen golden parsnip at the top of the house.

I was like, oh, good. I tell you what, I have never been more excited walking rain home bargains and I saw some gold tinsul and I laid. I went, oh, that is perfect. The golden parsnip.

So I bought a soap chut. That is perfect for the pubes. The pubes. Oh dear.

I tell you what wasn't let down on the night. That was the fact that the bar had shut at the end. I was looking forward to everyone sitting in there and just chatting and going, it was all shut up. I was like, oh, yeah, they told us originally that they'd stay up until 11.

Do you remember this? They did. They did. So that's why we didn't arrange to go anywhere.

We thought we could do it all there. I was telling everyone I said, no, we're not going anywhere because we were all staying here. And then went to go round to the bar and I was like, oh, and then there was like, nobody there anyway. And then we went back and we went back and we went a bit of a traditional.

We always go and get McDonald's. And we sit in the hotel and we meet it. So I was like, let's go and get on McDonald's then. So we rock up to Simon's system with Donald's and we're debating whether to go drive through or in.

We decided to go in, get to the door and it's fucking shut. There's people saying that. And there's a woman there cleaning. She's like, now it's how we show 11.

It was three minutes past 11. Yeah. I don't shut 11. They showed midnight because I went straight to McDonald's from the show myself.

Went into the drive through. There was a car in front of me sat at the thing waiting to order and he sat there for about five, ten minutes. And I thought, well, he's got a long order. He drove off.

So I sat at the little terminal and another two cars pulled in behind me. There was nothing on the terminal. And I thought, what's going on here? So I pulled around and he's at the pay desk, beeping his horn and obviously nobody was there.

And it's said on the side. Yeah. I was talking to the women inside and I'm looking at the door. There's a sticker with their opening times and it says, I know, seven till midnight.

And I said, it said there. I'm not sicker at midnight. No, no, no, no. It's 11.

And then John was like, what about that big fucking sign on the way in? She was like, no, no, it's 11. And so we were meeting John and Kate were in the building and Anna had gone round to the drive. She was back there waiting for people.

So like, fuck you then, we're going to the beef eater. They fucking shut. We've got a dub in the car park. I've got two steps towards the beef eater in the car.

All of the outside lights went off. I was like, this is a fucking sign or what? So we were introduced to a vending machine and a premiering. Oh, bless you.

There's a KFC round the corner. Oh, no, we don't go to that one. Yeah. I find off a long email to McDonald's because twice in the two weeks, I bought it at a double quarter pound and they've only given me a single from Sire.

And then I paid for a double. Went back to complain and they said, where's your receipt? Well, there you go. I didn't have a receipt.

They're god knows where. They're just a shocker now. We've got a shock in KFC and now we've got a shock in McDonald's. I was going to say, I said to John on the night, I'm going to fuck with viral complaint.

I think we're even stood in the way of premiering it and doing like just the delivery of Uber Eats. And on all three apps, we can only find one place that's open and it didn't really look very good. It's just going to take an hour to deliver. So we're like, nah, sack that off.

Yeah. I'm sorry, I said to four. Everything closes at half 10. Yeah.

Yeah. Absolutely fucking night. No, it was the night. It was absolutely banging.

It was so good to see people again. And just. I'm going to ask you your highlight of the show then as you're here representing the rest of everyone. Oh, God.

Highlight highlight. I'm going to have to do it. Mark songs are amazing. The Bingo.

I was one thing away. Oh, yeah. I was like, I'm going to make. And then just watching your faces with a surprise at the end and.

Paris was really good. It was all just a fab night and I loved all of it and just meeting everyone again. And I go again tomorrow if there was one on. Oh, bless you.

Well, enough. Next week. Next week. 24th of December.

Oh, God. Well, Helena, all we can say is, you know, I've said this about a couple of people. You, Kim, Paul and me, if we could clone you and get 100 values in the view, we could take over the world because people like you make doing it such a pleasure and to think that you guys there are listening just again makes it a pleasure to do. We're going to have you on our other podcast.

We're going to come and do a top 10 with us. Yeah, but I'm something I know about not like, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, no, it'll be.

You can, you can choose the subject. That's fine. That's fine. But I have no something about it.
