A few nights ago he was with Brian Cox, a lot of the stuff I'm familiar with [which doesn't imply understanding 
] but I was struck by Cox's piece about god vs science and how his attitude has softened with age (as mine) and the nice references to Robert Oppenheimer's Reith lectures and Feynman's comments about open-mindedness etc. Some nice insights.
Booked to see Prof Cox next week after listening to this. So, it certainly works as a way to buy tickets for your shows if nothing else.] but I was struck by Cox's piece about god vs science and how his attitude has softened with age (as mine) and the nice references to Robert Oppenheimer's Reith lectures and Feynman's comments about open-mindedness etc. Some nice insights.dave_s13 said:

I go to one every couple of months or so. Usually have a great time.
Almost finished the Pot Debate [ETA: #1246] podcast. Previously all for legalisation and easy going on the stuff. I still am but the sheer lack of information overall seems insane given how long it’s been a regular use substance in many societies. Hopefully the research gains support and traction. Seems like a genuine issue with young people smoking it, but not a widespread epidemic or anything of that level.

Pretty sure I'll always be pro legalisation, but to put forward an intelligent argument we need to acknowledge the downsides. Cannabis isn't for everyone to say the least, and yes we do need far more research into it across several areas. All the people I know who smoke weed and are okay all have one salient thing in common - they either didn't smoke it when teens or smoked little.Edited by Spanna on Friday 15th February 12:35

Me too
Although mine were £40pp.
Didn't think that was too bad tbh. Cost £145pp for Les Mis tickets!! That really was a bit steep, but I booked late and didn't want crap seats.
Nice! Think I’m about 6th row from the front as we got in early getting the tickets. He’s been hilarious wherever I’ve heard him or podcasts and TV shows so should be great.Although mine were £40pp.

Most are perfectly functional, but I can’t say how much better they might be without that or whether it would’ve had much effect on their lives or whether the drugs were a main cause in the others having difficulties.

£44 of a single ticket? Personally I think that's silly enough! Burr is OK on the podcst, I'd have to be a really huge fan to pay out that much to go see something. Beat the frog night can deliver as many laughs.
Yeah shows are pretty expensive, but we do a regular thing of it, go for a meal then a show (or vice versa). Thinking of getting tickets for Bill Bailey in the summer.
£50 per head for Cox last night.
Sat near the front but low down and far right, no pun intended, so the viewing angle for the massive screen was s
t. The sound was also really echoey. Mated to the fact he just regurgitates everything he's already said over various medium already and it was simply nothing new.
He also seemed to use really ste PowerPoint presentations for some if the bits trying to describe light cones and space time, it was poor. And Robin Ince was just irritating.
My Mrs actually fell asleep! She's a science teacher though and had a wicked cold so felt rough, but was also very bored .
Anyway...£100 tickets, £8 parking £15 fish and chips before going in. £13 fking quid for 2 pints and I feel somewhat aggreived that it was basically st! The money wouldn't have mattered at all if it has been good! And I really really wanted it to be good.
Pissed me right off.
If you've bought tickets....sell them and just read one of his books instead.

Anyone else listen to Joey Diaz?
Yes! I love the 'church of whats happening now' podcasts! I love listening to his stories from his past, whether its robbing people, drugs, his general hustling, stuff from his childhood....... all makes for some very funny stories. I think my favourites are when its just joey and lee talking nonsense Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
