Oh, hello. This is from Tom Wales Day. Dear Chatterbix, the Chanctonbury ring created by the devil, according to local legend, not fact, a haunted location for Joe. What's it called? Chanctonbury Ring. I've been there, actually. I think it's near Worthing.

312.176 - 312.817 David

Oh, Chanctonbury.

312.837 - 315 Joe

He's sending it for you to go to in the dead of night.

Yeah, great, okay.

316.441 - 319.785 Joe

Chanctington Ring. Chanctonbury Ring.

Chapter 4: What interesting encounter did a listener have with Robert Plant?

319.925 - 327.494 Joe

Oh, Chanct. Created by the devil on the south downs between Washington and Whiston is a ring of trees on top of a small hill.

0

327.514 - 328.455 David

Oh, yeah, I'm looking at it.

0

328.535 - 353.43 Joe

For which the devil himself can be summoned by running around the ring of trees. by running around the ring of trees seven times anti-clockwise. And if that doesn't work, try 666 times clockwise. There used to be, and still could be, a crucifix inside the ring of trees which marks the grave of the landowner who requested to be buried at the point at which he fell, which is inside the ring.

0

353.41 - 381.51 Joe

lastly the ring is thought to be a place of ancient pagan worship wherein sacrificial ceremonies and feasts took place also apparently women who sleep under the trees in the ring for just one night supposedly have increased fertility make it that what you will tom okay do you want me to go there yeah i think it's on the a of the a20 it's near um stening yeah it is i'm looking at it now

Yeah. What time does it get dark? Because I'll drive up there, walk over, have a little mooch about, pod, edo. Yeah. What one do you want me to do? Chanctonbury Ring? Your choice. I'll do Chanctonbury Ring then. I've got to go round, anti-clockwise round the things to summon the devil.

440.063 - 446.476 Joe

I wonder if you've got 4G up there. If you haven't.

Chapter 5: How did a listener describe their experience with Eddie the Eagle?

450.523 - 454.872 Joe

That would be so annoying. I think you can check where you get 4G online.

0

455.393 - 457.477 David

All right. We'll do that on the pod.

0

457.497 - 477.445 Joe

Here's one from Luke Grayland, 30th of January. Hi both. You asked people to email in if they had a local celebrity live near them growing up. My local celebrity was Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. Wow. I grew up in a small town in the West Midlands where everyone has their story of when they ran into him. My first encounter was in the chip shop.

0

478.927 - 513.352 Joe

I was a stoned 16-year-old aspiring musician and I looked up to find I was serving the man himself. He reeled off his order and I totally forgot to listen, so I had to ask him to repeat it. He was mildly frustrated, which I think is fair enough. As I watched him drive off in his matte black Audi, I remember thinking it was an immature colour for a 60-year-old man. What does he mean?

0

513.372 - 516.917 Joe

Is it because matte black cars really stand out, don't they, I think?

517.117 - 519.64 David

Are they the ones that look like the paint's come away?

520.101 - 524.366 Joe

Yes, yeah. There's a dullness to it. Yeah, like the shine's gone. Yeah.

524.726 - 526.028 David

Yeah, that's fucking weird.

526.328 - 532.964 Joe

Oh, I suppose he earned the right to drive what he liked. A year or so later he was in an audience at a local gig we played.

Chapter 6: What public telling off story is shared from a listener's school days?

533.285 - 556.942 Joe

Afterwards he came over and complimented our guitar player. I was the bass player. In fairness, I was average at best. I like to think he was complimenting the whole band's performance. People often tend to slag him off for being big-headed and cocky, but I don't know how much of that. It was just jealousy. Either way, he's undeniably a musical legend.

0

556.962 - 569.392 Joe

These days, you often catch him down the local tennis club, where I think he's most content. Fucking hell. He's just getting on with his life, Robert Plant.

0

569.933 - 578.148 David

Currently being podded about at a tennis club. Fucking hell. Leave me alone. Yeah, exactly.

0

579.53 - 581.995 Joe

God. Where do you want to go?

0

582.015 - 586.844 David

I really want more celeb stories, if I'm honest.

587.064 - 600.95 Joe

You're going to love this. Friday the 17th of January this year. Hi, gents. Long-time listener here. And as you may have guessed from my email address, I am in fact the real Stevie Wonder. Fuck off.

601.01 - 603.152 David

Who is it? Someone called Stevie.

Chapter 7: What impression of Andy Parsons is featured in this episode?

604.133 - 619.33 Joe

I would like to invite you both to my family home in Ghana. I'd be happy to record a couple of exclusive eps and maybe even a song or two. Good work, Crunch Crunch. Your friend at the pod, Stevie.

0

621.52 - 644.187 David

that's really good are there any other real celebrity ones yeah um this is from ryan v apparently chris akabusi lived in my town when i was younger

0

645.044 - 650.37 Joe

Unfortunately, I never saw him to say hello. Thank you, Ryan.

0

650.81 - 652.432 David

I ran past Chris Eback the other day.

0

653.133 - 668.63 Joe

Did you? Yeah. My friend said hello to him. It's from Kevin Brown. Hello, chaps. I grew up in the same village as John Craven. Oh, wow. He used to come into the video shop, which me and my mate worked. We'd try and guess what he'd rent.

669.151 - 675.017 Unknown

One day, he rented Police Academy. LAUGHTER

676.938 - 712.579 David

one day it's like a start of a kid's book i can't imagine john craven watching this oh flipping out i love this the fact that these people just that day he's getting on with his day yeah the video shot massive memory for someone who then emails a pod about it fucking hell what a world Anymore. This is better than what we usually do, reading about celebs. Oh, yeah.

713.26 - 714.642 Joe

Do you want another celeb, then?

714.682 - 715.083 David

Yeah.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts engage with listener feedback and emails?

715.683 - 716.304 David

So much.

0

719.488 - 748.976 Joe

So much. Okay. There's quite a few, I think. Great. Do you know what? I might go Judi Dench. Oh, here we go. It's from Becky. Hi, guys. Martin Clunes lives near me and was on Twitter parking in the motorbike bay at Waitrose in his car. This was a big scandal for a small town. Did you see that? No. What happened? Oh, he parked in a motorcycle bay. Did he do that? I think he did.

0

749.136 - 754.042 Joe

And the cyclist came back. I remember the motorcyclist being a bit of a knob.

0

755.023 - 756.505 David

Oh, he had a pop at him on Twitter.

0

756.525 - 756.806 Joe

Yeah.

756.846 - 757.587 David

Did he film him?

757.847 - 759.109 Joe

He was filming him, yeah.

759.129 - 770.453 David

Oh, fuck off it. Nice. Yeah. I'm not far from Sarah Beanie's mansion. I was watching that the other day, a show. That's good. Her family seemed very nice.

770.834 - 792.633 Joe

Another village years ago, I had a big house owned by a famous designer and he threw a big gay party, which included Elton John. So I stood as a teenager watching blacked out cars arriving, imagining who was inside. You make the world better as I navigate my mum through dementia. Thank you, both of you. Oh. Wow.
