Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

Yeah.

And we were like, yeah, okay, well, this is a thing to do with dad.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

And actually a lot of those ideas came from Joe and I would never have been able to generate them because my relationship with my dad was not close in that way.

So to me, it was just excruciating the idea of having to spend a whole week in Ibiza with him.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

You know, we would hang out during the days, we'd be on the beach, and he liked it on the beach, but then in the evenings he hated it because he just found the whole atmosphere overwhelming and grotesque, was his word.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

I loathe the grotesque, anything carnivalesque, you know, papier-mache heads and just any kind of chaos.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

He didn't like chaos, you know, because he'd been in the war.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

He was in the Second World War.

And I feel like once you've seen real horrific chaos, then your tolerance for it as fun goes way down.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

So I think that's what he felt like.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

That was kind of the root of the problem with a lot of the things that we were into and my generation were into.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

He couldn't get his head around it.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

Like, why do you embrace chaos?

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

Like, you remember that track, Higher State of Consciousness by Josh Wink?

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

Yeah.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

When he heard that, he was like...

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

this does not compute.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

Why would you listen to this?

The Romesh Ranganathan Show
Adam Buxton on Why Podcasting Has Got WORSE & Comedy Jingles

It's like the pure Santa chaos.

The Romesh Ranganathan Show

Anyway, we went to, we took him to a club, we took him to space and it was, it's pretty hard, techno, dark.
