This week we’re talking comedy obsessions, date-night gigs, and the comics we’ve seen (and want to see). From Jimmy Carr, Lee Mack and Peter Kay to Bill Burr and the brutal brilliance of Steph Tolev — plus why some heckling is funny and some is just grim. Then we somehow end up sharing our grossest childbirth story (yes… the umbilical cord moment 😳) and finish with the conspiracy theory Simon really hopes is true: what’s under the pyramids.🎧 Sponsors: De Medici Associates • Right at Home Medway • Clearwater Kent • James Howard PT • Club Awesome • Cherrywood Production • Hindsight Directory • Snugdubs Campervan Hire#Comedy #Podcast #StandUp  @Steph_Tolev  0:00 Bill Burr in Canada (and “abandoning the family”)0:11 Intro + what we’re talking about1:08 Rachel’s favourite: Jimmy Carr (and the “tax” chat)2:30 Sponsor break4:25 Al Murray + comedy galas5:32 Clinton Baptiste + Phoenix Nights7:10 Peter Kay return show8:27 Bill Burr + discovering Steph Tolev11:09 Steph’s podcast + gross story rules12:02 Nits/scabies childhood chat14:35 The Ted birth story (Braveheart / “Henry Hoover” moment)22:33 Nina Conti + London comedy festival23:45 Ricky Gervais / Derek / After Life chat24:54 Kerry Godliman (meeting her)25:12 Jim Jefferies + Joe Rogan + Kill Tony27:48 “We should do that show idea”31:48 Lee Mack + hecklers + small vs big venues35:43 The cringiest heckler moment (Canada club)38:50 Jack Dee + comedians we don’t click with41:18 Handling criticism + reading comments46:18 The “AI edit” that made Rachel look awful48:29 Husband & wife stand-up idea51:44 The “gypsy switch” drink story53:14 Simon’s word-mixups + accidental laughs56:21 Ridiculous arguments + “official adjudicator”59:40 Conspiracy theory: what’s under the pyramids1:06:21 Final comedian recommendations + why comedy matters1:10:00 Rachel’s thank you + sign-off1:11:10 Sponsor outroWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

This week on the Cherrywood Podcast we address the elephant in the room… Rachel’s badly injured knee (crutches, brace, MRI pending… and a very painful “locking” knee 😬). Then we jump into my 50PlusRookie baseball journey with Kent Baseball Club — training updates, sore heels/Achilles worries, positions, gloves, and why it’s not “rounders”! We also get surprisingly deep on AI: the backlash from creatives, the future of video, voiceovers, trust online, and the mental health impact of “perfect” filtered/AI images. We finish with a quick Stonehenge chat (glaciers vs humans moving the bluestones) and a proper reality check on how little any of us truly know.#AI #Baseball #Podcast00:00 Intro + like/subscribe00:08 Rachel’s knee injury “elephant in the room”00:46 What happened at cricket warm-up (pop/crack, floor, brace, crutches)02:27 X-ray clear + waiting on MRI / ligaments03:34 Gutted to miss debut + “out for the season” banter04:18 Sponsor reel (De medichi Associates / Right at Home Medway / Clearwater Kent / James Howard PT)05:38 50PlusRookie update: training sessions, aches, PT work07:34 Achilles/heel worries + Ninja Warrior injury throwback10:00 Kent Baseball Club shoutouts + warmups helping loads12:09 Louis Green fight chat + York Hall London mention14:13 Outdoor season starts around April + Hadlow pitch15:00 Learning positions: catcher, pitching, fielding + gear costs17:02 MLB spitting/dugout habits (why is that still a thing?)18:24 Running/sprinting at 50 + heel pain management20:23 Baseball vs cricket vs “rounders” rant 😅21:53 Gloves, mitts, stinging hands + differences by position24:43 Strike zone explained + “three strikes and you’re out”25:20 Joining the club + season value26:03 Weddings update + reassurance for booked couples26:38 Pride in Medway reminder (check if voting still open)30:32 AI backlash + trust issues with online video33:56 AI in hospitals example (human confirmation still matters)35:42 Using AI for VFX vs threat to creatives41:29 Voiceover industry risk + what AI will replace first42:02 AI perfection + body image/mental health impact46:46 Where does AI end?

A wedding film isn’t something most couples fully appreciate in the first few years — its real value often reveals itself 10 or 20 years later. When memories fade, children grow up, and loved ones may no longer be with us, a wedding video becomes a powerful time capsule that preserves voices, movement, emotion, and moments that photos alone can’t.#WeddingAdvice #WeddingPlanning #KentWeddings3) TIMESTAMPS0:00 Welcome back to the Cherrywood Podcast0:03 Do you really need a wedding video?0:12 Why couples often feel unsure0:31 Wedding videos aren’t made for the first few years0:45 Why memories still feel fresh early on1:05 How time changes perspective1:21 When loved ones are no longer there1:33 We never know what life has around the corner1:36 A wedding video as a time capsule1:54 Capturing voices, movement, and emotion2:02 Reconnecting with a moment in time2:11 Seeing parents and grandparents again2:23 Seeing yourselves as you were2:35 What wedding films mean for your children2:47 Creating something for the future, not now3:01 An investment in memory3:10 Why wedding videos gain value over time3:24 Why video preserves moments photos can’t3:41 When couples realise how important it becomes3:58 Changing how you look at wedding video4:08 Thinking 10 or 20 years ahead4:20 Who wedding videos are really for4:40 The Cherrywood approach4:46 Outro5:06 Sponsor — Club Awesome5:13 Sponsor — De Medici Associates5:26 Sponsor — Right at Home Medway5:50 Sponsor — James Howard PT6:35 Sponsor — Cherrywood Productions6:53 Sponsor — Hindsight Directory7:10 Sponsor — Clearwater KentWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

Just because a wedding is shorter doesn’t mean it’s simpler. In this episode of the Cherrywood Podcast, we explain why twilight weddings still require full professional coverage — and in many ways are harder to photograph and film.

This episode starts like any other Cherrywood Podcast — casual chat, catching up, and a bit of chaos — until it becomes clear that Simon has something serious to say. What follows is an unscripted, funny, and very real conversation as he finally tells Rachel about a decision he’s been sitting on for a while.There’s disbelief, sarcasm, genuine concern, laughter, and eventual support — all before the conversation naturally drifts into Austin, Texas film awards, family life, future plans, and what’s coming next for Cherrywood. If you like honest conversations, big reveals, and watching reactions unfold in real time, this one’s for you.Podcast sponsors:De Medici Associates – Chartered Structural & Civil EngineersRight at Home Medway – Safe, trusted care at homeClearwater Kent – Cleaning & facilities management specialistsCherrywood Productions – Award-winning video & photographyHindsight Directory – Local business advertising magazineSnugDubs Campervan Hire – Roam the world, park anywhereClub Awesome – Supporting autistic children and their families#CherrywoodPodcast #CouplesPodcast #BigReveal0:00 Intro & like/share/subscribe0:42 Rachel senses something’s coming3:54 The conversation turns serious5:29 The reveal moment7:11 Rachel’s reaction10:11 Austin, Texas & film awards chat19:20 Round Rock donuts & new connections22:21 Driverless Uber experience23:30 UK Small Business Awards finalist update25:47 Louis Green boxing update28:20 Pride in Medway sponsorship34:02 Family shoutouts36:04 Cherrywood updates & Conspiracy Files40:20 Charity mention: Club Awesome40:28 Sponsor rollCherrywood Podcast, couples podcast, big reveal podcast, marriage conversation, unscripted podcast, family podcast, UK podcast, creative podcast, Austin Texas trip, Texas Short Film Festival, driverless Uber, small business awards, Pride in Medway, Cherrywood Productions, De Medici Associates, Right at Home Medway, Clearwater Kent, Hindsight Directory, SnugDubs Campervan Hire, Club AwesomeWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

In 1932, Australia declared war… on emus.Yes, real soldiers, machine guns, and strategy — all deployed against a flock of giant, flightless birds. What followed was one of history’s most absurd battles: the Great Emu War.In this Cherrywood Conspiracy Files deep dive, we explore how thousands of emus outsmarted the Australian army, why the government got involved, and the strange theories that have kept this bizarre story alive.From failed military tactics to newspaper mockery, from political cover-ups to tongue-in-cheek conspiracies about bird intelligence, the Great Emu War reminds us that sometimes, nature refuses to be conquered.Would you side with the army… or the emus?#ConspiracyFiles #WeirdHistory #CherrywoodPodcast⏱️ Timestamps0:00 The war against emus begins0:42 Cherrywood Conspiracy Files intro1:01 Life in Australia after WWI1:16 Enter the emus2:09 Farmers petition the government2:27 Military is deployed against birds2:48 First failed encounter3:21 Machine gun on a truck3:40 The emus fight back4:40 Media mockery and defeat5:37 Why the Emu War really happened6:13 Theories and conspiracies7:04 Who really won the Emu War?7:53 Sponsors🏆 SponsorsClub Awesome – for autistic children and their familiesDe Medici Associates – chartered structural & civil engineersRight at Home Medway – safe and trusted adult careClearwater Kent – cleaning & facilities managementCherrywood Productions – award-winning video & photographyHindsight Directory – reach 30,000+ homes with your businessNu Digital – web design, SEO, Google Ads & social mediaWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

Have you ever walked through a seaside amusement park and wondered if the dusty attractions have stories hidden behind them? In 1976, a TV crew filming The Six Million Dollar Man stumbled upon a shocking truth: what they thought was a mannequin was actually the mummified remains of an outlaw who had died more than 65 years earlier.This is the macabre tale of Elmer McCurdy, a bungling bandit whose crimes never quite succeeded — but whose death turned him into a carnival attraction, a waxwork curiosity, and finally a TV prop before the truth came out.From botched train robberies to decades on the sideshow circuit, McCurdy’s strange afterlife raises unsettling questions: how many people knew? How many others might still be out there, hidden in plain sight?Join us as we uncover one of the strangest conspiracies in American history — where fact, folklore, and the grotesque collide.⏱️ Timestamps0:00 Intro – The strange mannequin in the funhouse0:51 The bungling bandit: Elmer McCurdy’s early life1:32 Train robberies gone wrong2:19 Final gunfight and death in 19112:33 The undertaker’s display trick3:11 Stolen by carnival owners3:43 Decades of sideshows and wax museums4:17 From ghost towns to funhouses4:45 1976 discovery during The Six Million Dollar Man filming5:32 The media storm and shocking truth6:05 McCurdy finally buried under concrete6:50 Questions about exploitation and legacy8:11 When does someone become “something”?9:29 Concrete measures – and fears of more outlaws hidden away10:04 The bizarre immortality of Elmer McCurdy10:47 Outro – The Cherrywood Conspiracy Files10:57 Sponsors#CherrywoodConspiracyFiles #ElmerMcCurdy #TrueCrimeHistory🏆 SponsorsClub Awesome – for autistic children and their familiesDe Medici Associates – chartered structural & civil engineers: demediciassociates.comRight at Home Medway – quality care in the comfort of your home: rightathome.co.uk/medway | 01634 979000Clearwater Kent – cleaning & facilities management: clearwaterkent.co.uk | 01634 681885Cherrywood Productions – weddings & promotional films: cherrywoodpro.comHindsight Directory – local business promotion: hindsightdirectory.co.ukNU Digital – web, SEO & ads: nudigital.co.ukWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

You ever get the feeling you weren’t meant to die yet?From childhood accidents that should have left scars, to cars that refused to start until danger had passed, to narrowly missing a terrorist attack at Parliament… Simon Burridge’s life has been marked by impossible escapes.Some call it luck.

Under the quiet fields of Kent lies something hidden.Not myths. Not rumours. Structures. Facilities. Concrete chambers and sealed tunnels from the Cold War and beyond—some abandoned, some still humming with life.In this mind-bending episode of the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files, Simon and Rachel take you deep beneath the Garden of England to uncover a chilling possibility: that Kent’s Cold War bunkers were never really shut down… just reclassified.Whispers of locked rooms, electromagnetic anomalies, phantom wiring, sealed shafts, and mysterious signals suggest there’s more happening under our feet than we’re meant to know.Could secret bases still be operating?

She vanishes.This is the story of Blue Bell Hill, one of the UK’s most chilling and persistent ghost sightings. A tragic crash in 1965. A bride who never made it to the altar.

What if the Earth isn’t a museum of history… but a hard drive?A planet that deletes, recycles, and reboots itself again and again.Civilisations could have risen and fallen millions—even billions—of years ago, leaving no trace. Fossils are rare. Stone crumbles. Oceans swallow cities. Volcanoes melt monuments. And tectonic plates drag everything back into the mantle.In this epic Cherrywood Conspiracy Files deep dive, Simon Burridge presents his original theory: Earth, The Planet That Reboots. Across ten parts, we explore:The real age of Earth — and why science may only be measuring its “last surviving files.”Fossils as “deleted data” — and why deep time hides more than it reveals.Ancient stone monuments, pyramids, and buried cities as possible time capsules.UFOs and probes as relics of civilisations that may have risen before us.The catastrophic “delete keys” of Earth: asteroids, volcanoes, and ice ages.And the haunting possibility that we are not the first… just the latest version installed.Simon’s 35 years as a mechanical engineer, combined with a sharp eye for the absurd, fuel this investigation — with a touch of humour and plenty of mystery.📺 The Cherrywood Conspiracy Files now drop every Friday.🎙️ Regular Cherrywood Podcast episodes with guests will still appear as soon as they’re ready.👉 Could intelligence have risen long before humans? Could UFOs be reminders from past civilisations? And is Voyager really our only lasting monument?This is one of our biggest conspiracy explorations yet: Earth: The Planet That Reboots.#CherrywoodConspiracyFiles #EarthMysteries #AncientCivilisationsWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

In this gripping episode of the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files, we explore one of Kent’s most overlooked UFO encounters: the mysterious events of December 12th, 1971 in the village of Shorne.A farmer’s tractor died. A couple’s car stalled. Dogs howled. Lights hovered. Phones went down. And RAF Manston denied everything. Was it weather? Venus? Or something not of here?Over 50 years later, we return to the fields, letters, and stories that refused to fade. Why does no one talk about Shorne when they talk about UFOs in Britain? And what really came over Kent that night?Join Simon and Rachel from the Cherrywood Podcast as they ask the questions no one else will.👇 Timestamps:0:00 – The lights above Shorne0:54 – Welcome to the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files1:09 – Life in sleepy 1970s Shorne1:26 – George Watkins’ tractor encounter3:07 – A couple’s terrifying drive4:19 – Pub flickers and barking dogs4:43 – Power outage and eerie glow5:45 – RAF denial and the Venus excuse5:58 – The mysterious anonymous letter6:30 – George’s notes: “Not of here”7:08 – Government silence7:23 – Could the lights still return?7:34 – Theories: Military?

Have you ever wondered if parts of the Bible were deliberately erased? Not lost by time, but buried because of what they revealed?In this episode of the Cherrywood Conspiracy Files, we open one of the most controversial texts ever written: The Book of Enoch.📜 It tells of:Angels called the Watchers who broke their oath.Their giant offspring, the Nephilim, who devoured mankind.Ancient forbidden knowledge—sorcery, astrology, and the art of war—passed to humans.The judgment of God, carried out by Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.Enoch’s visions of cosmic secrets, fiery prisons, and even a Messianic prophecy that echoes into Christianity itself.Why was this book erased? Was it too dangerous—or did it reveal too much?We’re not telling you what to believe. We’re just giving you the pieces. What you do with them is up to you.⏱️ Timestamps0:00 – What is the forbidden Book of Enoch?0:34 – The Watchers descend and the Nephilim are born2:45 – Forbidden knowledge given to mankind3:44 – God sends the archangels to judge the Watchers4:32 – Enoch becomes the messenger6:06 – The Nephilim destroyed, the origin of demons8:11 – The Watchers’ plea for mercy is denied10:01 – Enoch’s visions of heaven and cosmic secrets12:38 – The astronomical book and hidden knowledge13:56 – Prophecy of the Son of Man16:15 – The flood and Noah’s warning18:17 – The final judgment and the Messiah figure19:55 – Renewal and a new earth20:47 – Why was this book erased?20:58 – Sponsors & supporters🙌 SponsorsDe Medici Associates – Chartered structural & civil engineers: demidiciassociates.comRight at Home Medway – Trusted home care: rightathome.co.uk/medway | 01634 979000Clearwater Kent – Cleaning & facilities management: clearwaterkent.co.uk | 01634 681885Cherrywood Productions – Award-winning wedding & promotional videography: cherrywoodpro.comHindsight Directory – Local advertising with Royal Mail reach: hindsightdirectory.co.ukNu Digital – Web design, SEO, Google ads & social media: nudigital.co.uk#BookOfEnoch #ConspiracyFiles #CherrywoodPodcastWelcome to Cherrywood Podcast, your source for inspiring conversations and compelling stories.

Over 200 million kilometres away lies a planet we thought we knew: cold, lifeless, silent.But in 1984, the CIA handed a psychic an envelope and told him to “see” what was there — a million years ago.What he described defied science:• Towering pyramids• Tall, intelligent beings• A dying civilisation• An escape to a lush new world…This wasn’t fiction.
