Me1 vs Me2 Snooker with Richard Herring
A series of exhibition snooker matches in which Richard Herring recreates his lonely childhood by playing himself at snooker and commentating as he plays. Who will win Me 1 or Me 2 and is there any real difference between these closely matched players? Will their different personalities shine through? And how much of this can you listen to before you become as unhinged as Me1, Me2 and the commentator Mes? This really is just a grown man playing snooker against himself on a wonky 6ft by 3ft snooker table in a room which is not quite big enough. WARNING: This is an incredibly self-indulgent and boring podcast. You only have yourself to blame if you listen and then become hooked and begin to favour one of the two Mes over the other.
Frame 13: Unlucky for Mes-o. The basement is being dismantled around their ears and, as the walls disappear, the Mes themselves begin to look as frail as gossamer. Both The Normal Man and the Very, Very Strong Gale are determined to go into the void fighting, for whatever the score, the rule of 'winner stays on' might prevail. But their determination might flag as Me1's fiancee is out buying Nandos and what if she returns before the frame is over? For whilst both players are fighting for something beyond tangible reality, the tangibility of extra hot sauce might be enough to distract them. How awful if this, their possible swan song, should be marred by delicious chicken. Yet, how apt. And are Referee 2's days numbered even if they players do return? The podcast may go on a brief to longish hiatus, but I hope that it shall return with all my hearts.
