You get a masterclass in nostalgia, chaos, and why getting older is beautifully liberating.​This week, Paul is joined by comic Justin Panks to count down the Top 5 Underdog Moments of All Time.

    World Cup Spangles

    The World Cup is supposed to be the greatest show on earth. In reality, it has always involved a surprising amount of absolute rubbish.This week, we revisit the footballers’ records nobody asked for, England failing to qualify and forcing the country to pretend to support Scotland, sticker albums abandoned after two packets, and those cheap Woolies footballs that could be launched into orbit by the final breath of a 100-year-old man.There is also the misery of staying up until three in the morning to watch two teams you had never heard of grind out a nil-nil draw, plus Joe Lycett, Gaza and the peculiar way football tournaments now become tangled up with every argument going.A nostalgic, occasionally ill-advised and painfully accurate look back at the World Cup moments nobody puts in the official highlights reel.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    The Water Is Turning the Frogs Gay (And Other Things We Probably Shouldn't Have Said).

    Scott and Pablo are back, and this week they've made a solemn vow: fewer swears, more sensitive listeners. That lasts about six minutes. Between debating whether "bollocks" counts if it was used in the Sex Pistols' defence at the Old Bailey, and coining the term "ring cheese" (don't ask — actually, do ask, it's brilliant), the lads somehow manage to make a new leaf feel entirely pointless. There's road rage from a deceased TV presenter, Arsenal fans menacing a man in a retro Spurs shirt, a Welsh rugby club regular with a very specific 10 o'clock ritual, and a front-row confession from a Jeremy Kyle alumnus that genuinely defies belief.The top five this week tackles heatwave nostalgia — Jubbly ice lollies, shirtless dads, Heinz Salad Cream, the invention of the beer garden (Tony Blair, obviously), and the great Fairy Liquid bottle water-fight arms race of the 1980s. Also: a pub goat in Devon, ring cheese (we had to mention it twice), and a live investigation into where Duncan Goodhew actually lives. Spoiler: it's not where you'd expect. It never is with this podcast. Absolutely none of this was planned.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    The Truth About Britannia Pier!

    This week we're recording live from the dressing room of the iconic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth, and we've got a very special guest — Shea, the man behind the bookings at one of the UK's most beloved seaside venues.We chat about what it's like to programme a 1,300-seat pier theatre, the acts that refuse to die (think Jim Davidson, Roy Chubby Brown, Joe Pasquale and Mick Miller), and the shows that sold out with almost zero effort. Plus, Shea shares his best crowd disasters, a kebab-fuelled night out with Neil 'Razor' Ruddock, and why a certain Mancunian B&B owner ended up at a Morrissey gig by complete accident.We also get into K-pop, Kevin Bloody Wilson, the eternal question of bigger chairs, and whether Michael Barrymore could ever stage a comeback.Equal parts nostalgia, comedy industry chat and Great Yarmouth love letter — don't miss it.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    World Exclusive: The Comedy Special That Shouldn’t Work (Matt Price)

    World exclusive.We sat down with Matt Price to talk about a stand-up special that looks like it’s on the verge of collapse — bad lighting, chaotic crowd, and a man who probably shouldn’t be anywhere near the tech.And somehow… it works. See here.https://youtu.be/iiZnljvMpAc?si=bR8H_6n7IilsDlyBWe get into chaos vs control, why polished specials might be missing the point, and whether this kind of comedy is actually closer to the real thing.Also — full disclosure — half this interview didn’t record. Which, given the subject matter, feels weirdly appropriate.It’s messy. It’s unpredictable.

    This week we’re diving into the moments where laughing will get you judged, cancelled, or quietly asked to leave. From real-life disasters to the kind of situations where you really shouldn’t laugh (but absolutely do), we count down our Top 5 inappropriate laughs.We also get into the rise of shows like Last One Laughing UK – why watching comedians try not to laugh is so addictive, and what it says about where comedy is heading.Plus:– Celebrities losing their heads (again) and why it keeps happening– The dramatisation around Huw Edwards and how media turns real-life into spectacle– And a surprisingly honest look at why British comedy might be falling behind Australia right nowScott and Pablo do their best to hold it together… with mixed results.Listen now… just maybe not when you’re somewhere you shouldn’t laugh.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    Top 10 Green Room Scandals 🎤🔥

    The stage might be polished. The green room rarely is.Episode 75 slips backstage and takes a look at the unspoken rules of comedy’s most volatile space. The power plays. The awkward energy. The desperate attempts to “just have a quick word”. The stories that aren’t really stories.There’s the comic who vanishes minutes before they’re due on.The surprise entourage that no one agreed to.The “networking” that feels more hunt than chat.And one offence so toxic it can evacuate a dressing room in record time.If you’ve ever gigged, promoted, or lurked within 10 feet of a backstage kettle, you’ll recognise every beat.Backstage. Unfiltered. No names… but plenty of suspects. 🎙️Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. Hosted on Acast.

    Do Dogs Sh1t Due North?

    Episode 74 – Do Dogs Shit Due North?Science. SatNavs. Labradors. We’re getting dangerously close to the truth this week as we investigate whether dogs genuinely line themselves up with the Earth’s magnetic field before dropping the kids off. Yes, really.Elsewhere, we’re demanding answers from AI after ChatGPT’s image generator once again turns Paul into Russ Abbott and Scott into Wilfred Brambell — despite neither of them requesting a 1970s BBC sitcom filter.Scott then embarks on an astonishing performance of moral self-certification, desperately trying to convince us he’s a woke leftie by verbally noshing off Nish Kumar in what can only be described as commitment to the bit.We launch a brand-new Green Room section, pulling the curtain back on comedy life — gigs, egos, promoters, and the stuff you’re not meant to hear. The Top 5 returns with family feuds, and the Bellen d’Or once again finds fresh reasons to honour the budget gym chain that keeps on giving: PureGym.If you like comedy podcasts that ask pointless questions, overshare industry gossip, and take absolutely nothing seriously — this one’s for you.🎧 Press play.

    5 Times Someone Had It All but Completely Fecked It Up

    There is absolutely no talk about the Beckhams in this episode. None. Spurred on by Arsenal once again finding an impressive new way to bottle it, this episode of Who Remembers Spangles? turns to elite-level self-sabotage with a Top 5 titled: Five Times Someone Had It All… and Completely Fecked It Up.The list ranges from reality-TV certainties and Hollywood royalty to comedy giants and a jewellery boss who managed to obliterate his own company’s value with a single, throwaway sentence.Elsewhere, a deeply unofficial Bellen d’Or is awarded to people who say “you can get that exact thing on Temu”, there’s a purely hypothetical (and obviously non-actionable) discussion about who someone would stalk, and an unavoidable diversion into Loddon Facebook nonsense.Later on, there’s an attempt to bring some actual sense to the Michael McIntyre hatred — not joining in with it, just trying to understand where it comes from and why it refuses to die.Gigs are coming up. Buy some tickets.Nostalgia, poor decisions, and the joy of watching other people ruin things far more efficiently than you ever could.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    We totally lost our sh*t

    This week on Who Remembers Spangles? we spiral cheerfully through Britain’s favourite pastimes: overreaction, nostalgia, and finding comfort in things that cost £7.99.There’s talk of snap political certainty, knee-jerk opinions, and why everyone is always absolutely sure about everything. That leads neatly into a nostalgic Top 5 Times Everyone Got Hysterical About Some Bullshit — including the Ice Bucket Challenge, Blur vs Oasis becoming actual news, dangerous dogs, and the collective emotional meltdown after the death of Diana.We then look ahead with Top 5 Predicted Hysterias for 2026: carbs being labelled poisonous, digital ID outrage from people welded to smartphones, panic over a cashless society, protests against “AI slop,” and first-contact alien chaos.Along the way we reminisce about 80s holiday camps, and profess deep affection for Britain’s most dependable mass-produced comforts: Premier Inn, Wetherspoons, PureGym, Greggs, Ryanair — and any other discount concept that delivers familiarity, beige carpets, and zero surprises.Also some essential comedy-industry navel-gazing: making other comedians laugh, the fear of being “hack,” and whether comedy is now overthinking itself into paralysis.No experts. No balance. Just gobsh*tes remembering the past badly and musing about the future.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    Top 5 Most Shocking Deaths

    This week’s episode begins in the most glamorous of settings: Scott broadcasting from a Premier Inn lounge in Sunderland, asking the big questions life throws at a man surrounded by patterned carpet and unlimited coffee refills.From there, it’s straight into a Top 5 of celebrity deaths that genuinely stopped us in our tracks — from outright murder, to cultural immortals we all foolishly assumed would live forever. Elvis or Amy? Diana. Bowie. Lennon. Expect disagreement, bad memories, and that slightly awkward moment where you realise some of these still properly sting.Naturally, this then escalates into a Top 5 deaths we’re confidently predicting for 2026, which is either incisive social commentary or a cry for help. You decide.There’s also a proper industry chat on whether comedy might finally be crawling back after years of legacy-media chaos, thanks to Netflix appointing a new comedy commissioner.And because this is a local podcast at heart, we round things off with a genuinely baffling news story involving a local MP, AI, and a bikini, which raises more questions than it answers and absolutely should not exist.Half arsedly structured. Questionable. Occasionally insightful. Oh and Pablo's been playing with jingles again. These are merely the hooks we hang our gobshite-ary on.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams. Hosted on Acast.

    Mr Blobby was a wrong 'un.

    Ross’s benched and in swans in Scott Adams from Lowestoft—accent so thick it practically tickles your boobies. We’re zeroing in on celebs who get right on your boobies and make you fling the remote at the boobies. First, “Old Boobie Triggers”: Mr Blobby still reigns supreme at slapping your boobies silly. Then “Present Boobie Aggravations”: Richard Arnold’s smug face that rubs your boobies raw, Sam Smith’s endless warble that clogs your boobies, Nigel Farage’s nonsensical bluster that punctures your boobies, and Meghan Markle’s nonstop drama that straight-up nails your boobies. Finally, “Future Boobie Cancellations”: will Jeremy Clarkson’s macho buffoonery biff your boobies into oblivion? Is Ricky Gervais’s razor-sharp zingers on borrowed boobie time? Can Joe Rogan’s endless yakking survive your boobies’ wrath? Strap in for 60 minutes of boobies so vexed they’ll have you muting faster than you can shout “BOOBIES!”AI wrote this intro with specific instruction to say Boobies a lot.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.

    The absolute estate of that.

    This week, Ross and Pablo go touring the roughest estates in the UK in a knackered yellow Fiat, eating pizza with their hands, and trying to find peace (or just the A-road) using an old paper map.  Dodging E -bikes rode by grey tracksuited thugs and burning bushes with p*ssed on broccoli.

    Bangers, Beans & Benny from Crossroads

    Right, listen up, while I try not to choke on this black pudding… This week on Who Remembers Spangles?, we’re diving fork-first into two of Britain’s greatest pastimes: defunct soap operas and the sacred full English breakfast. We’re rating fry-ups with the seriousness they deserve (don’t come at us with grilled tomatoes), and reminiscing about the golden days of telly – when Brookside blew up houses and buried bodies under patios, and Benny from Crossroads stood there in his woolly hat, looking like he’d lost his fags and the plot.It’s greasy, it’s nostalgic, and it’s got more drama than a Queen Vic Christmas special.

    Things that used to get on our Boobies.

    Ceefax Meltdowns & Bus Stop Misery – We Had It Rough, Us Lot!"This week we’re kickin’ off about the old days — when Ceefax took three days to load, buses disappeared into thin air, and some muppet taped over your Knight Rider with Songs of Praise. No credit on your Nokia, pockets full o’ shrapnel, and no way to let your mates know you weren’t comin’. It were character building… apparently.

    Celebs that get on your Boobies

    In this episode, teenage Ross and Pablo park themselves in front of the telly (Kim Wilde poster proudly behind them) to argue over the Top 5 celebs who make your skin crawl — not because they’re sinister, just deeply, endlessly annoying. You know the type. Smug grins. Overexposed. Always on your screen, whether you like it or not.We also take a nostalgic look back at the truly rubbish TV from the 70s and 80s — the baffling game shows, wooden acting, and low-budget madness that somehow made it to air.It’s gripes, groans, and guilty pleasures galore.

It’s oversharing. It’s unnecessary. It’s pure Spangles.Plug in, breathe deep, and prepare your inner teenager—this is Episode 40.Who Remembers Spangles? is hosted by 'Comedy Buoys' promoter Paul Dunn (Pablo) and Lowestoft-born comedian Scott Adams.
