How do the hosts introduce the 'Down The Local' Liverpool episode and guests?
this podcast is part of the sports social podcast network hi welcome to the pub crawlers another at the local edition uh i'm down the boozer again in the middle of the week plus change it's the french say i'm with my good mates james and steve steve's ubiquitous on this show more or less near as dammit james this is your debut it's exciting for you i know you've been uh you've been up nights You said, Rob, when's the agenda going to drop? But there is no agenda. Actually, there is an agenda, James, but it's a secret one. Because in my head and on my phone, the rest of us are expected to just freeform. You freeform around the structure that I provide.
Some might say the point of an agenda is that you circulate it beforehand so people know, but you don't go... But we know from previous shows with Rob that that doesn't always happen. That's not always the case.
It's the definition of an agenda in the wider sense of the word. LAUGHTER Well, for those who haven't listened before, the way this works is we loosely talk about pub-related topics, great pubs we've been to, great pints we've had, and then we veer off in a structured and unstructured way into a range of fun topics. James, you're a fun guy, aren't you?
I love the start.
As a fun guy who walks into a pub with a positive mindset, what makes you walk straight back out?
Hen parties. I can't, I can't, I can't deal with it. I just, I just can't.
Not stag, you just hate the women.
Yeah, okay, so you know and your listeners may or may not know, I've been on the telly for a while and... All right, stop bragging, James. She's out of control. Let me get to the end of my points. How long did it take him? Oh, boys. But anyway... I can imagine it's hard work for you. But this is the thing. You would think that groups of lads out on the lash would be more problematic. That's not the case. Groups of women are terrifying to me. But not in a slightly good way as well. I mean, it depends what you're into. I mean, if you like that sort of thing. But yeah, groups of women who are all bevvied and have a sash on that says, you know... We love James Sutton. I love John Paul. They're all wearing James Sutton face masks.
That would make me leave immediately. I just find it terrifying getting big sweaty cuddles from lots of women at once. It's just, it's not my bag.
And you are very Hen Knight adjacent.
Well, my... Your demographic. My demographic, yeah. My CV is very adjacent to that world. But I exist outside of that world. I like a quiet pub, Rob.
You're still a young man, though, James. Imagine when you're knocking my age and the work's dried up, right?
I've seen you. I've seen you operating. I've seen the attention you draw. You're okay. The sly looks. There was that woman in the Shandon Bells who said she'd been going to your office for years. Oh, yeah.
She did say she was 79.
You're a bit of a cult figure, aren't you, in the city?
A bit of a what? A bit of a cult. Sorry, I thought you said something else. My mum.
I'm here all week. But you are. You attract a certain amount of attention. People know who you are, don't they? How do you find that?
How do I deal with that celebrity?
But how do you find that?
It's always blokes, James. It's always fellas. Fair enough. They always want to ask you about left-back stuff. Yeah, there was one asking about left-backs and squads. Always left-backs. Always the left-backs. Always the Liverpool Football Club. Everyone always thinks you need a left-back. Absolutely. No, there's a lot of lovely people out there who also like the work I'm trying to do in the public house sphere. I didn't expect that answer from you. What makes you turn and walk?
Why do hen parties and loud groups make James want to leave a pub?
I was hoping you were going to say something. The music's too loud or... I like an atmosphere, don't get me wrong.
There's nothing better than walking into a pub and being surrounded by people having a really good fucking time. Because you're like, oh right, I'm okay in here. This is a good vibe. These are my kind of people. They're just cutting loose.
Do you... Because I default to a certain Victor Meldrew curmudgeonliness.
