What are the initial thoughts on England's draw with Ghana?
Welcome to The Good, The Bad and The Football, sponsored by Midnight, the betting app that's built differently. And speaking of built differently... As you might notice, we're in a completely different set for today's show. I should actually use the word show very loosely. We're in that London. They've got it all down here. Coaches, fans over there, and we've got top turn with us as well. Chris McCausland, welcome to the show, pal. Cheers, mate.
Do you know what? I don't know what's gone on with the booking this week, but the World Cup started last two weeks. You've had John Barnes, and then I don't know how it happens, but something's gone wrong. You've got me on this week.
How long have you been in London?
30 years, mate. Wow. Yeah, I went to Kingston Uni in the mid-90s and just stayed around, really.
Not lost your accent, have you, Chris?
Yeah, yeah, to be honest, yeah. You know, it used to be a lot stronger and it kind of, you know, I'm flying the flag at the minute, aren't I? So it's going to get stronger and stronger. Does it get stronger when you're around Scouse lads as well? Oh, yeah, on the phone with my mum, it goes strong as well, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30-year, though, back then, I mean, you're a student. I mean, how did you go on actually affording anywhere around here? It's absolutely horrific, the prices in London, aren't they? It's bananas, isn't it?
That's the one thing I wish I'd looked at. I never really considered just looking at average house prices in an area when picking a university to go to. Never considered the future to that extent, but it's bananas, mate. How often are you back up in Liverpool? Not as much as I used to be. When I used to do the clubs, I'd be up there a lot doing clubs in the North West every month. Touring a lot now, it's a lot less. But whenever I can, I'm going to go and take my daughter up and my wife to watch the Foo Fighters at Anfield this weekend. Very nice. What's your number four? Yeah, I saw their very first concert over here back in 95. They were at the Reading Festival and they got put in the tent, which was, I think, massively underestimated the amount of people that would want to watch them because of the Nirvana connection.
So overcrowded, people hanging from the things at the top of the tent, you know, it was mental.
One of the best live bands I've seen, Foo Fighters. Really? One of the best live bands, yeah.
He talks a lot, though, doesn't he?
He talks a lot on stage.
He's a good talker, isn't he?
But he doesn't.
He goes, oh, we're going to play so many songs. He's going to be saying, well, if you shut up, you could do an extra two.
Sorry, I was just going to ask, how did you go from studying in London then to becoming a comedian? Is that something you always wanted to do?
No, no. Literally my education, I just followed the path of least resistance. I was good at maths and computers, did that in A-level, did software engineering. Basically, my eyesight deteriorated, so I kind of lost the end of it just as I finished uni, and I was unemployed for a little while, figuring out what I wanted to do. Got a job in a call centre to pass the time, and I did comedy just as I dared to do it once. I just loved stand-up. And so I just did it once just to have a go. And that was 23 years ago. Had your eyesight completely deteriorated when you first decided to do stand-up? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it had gone by then, yeah. So literally from birth right the way over 20-odd years. And, you know, I mean, really kind of, I did all right until maybe, you know, as I got to like the age of 14, 15, it was more of a struggle.
But, you know, when it comes to Liverpool, I didn't exactly miss much in the 90s in terms of watching the Reds on the telly.
So, obviously, you're a Liverpool fan, Chris. You sat with two ex-United lads. What's your feelings?
We were called something else before. I know, yeah. He dropped it in there, didn't he? You're allowed to say it, Chris.
Do you know what I mean? These two are partly responsible for a lot of misery in my youth.
