Joe Marler's Things People Do

This week, our guest is Ruth, a professional decorator who rocks a pair of pink overalls and loves inspecting the paintwork in nightclub toilets! In this episode, we discover why there is more to the job than 'slapping a bit of paint on the walls' (Joe's words), why there are so many different shades of white, and how to actually wallpaper a wall. There is also a lot of talk about elephant breath, among other weirdly named colours.We're at the Clapham Grand with Things People Did every month, get your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopodIf you would like to be a guest on the show, click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewformTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/thingspeopledoTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/thingspeopledoTo grow the show on socials, look for @thingspeoplepod on Instagram, Twitter and TiktokSend us your ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom to joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a classic episode from back when we had no listeners. Today, Joe and Tom meet opera singer Rob Murray to chat Pavarotti, how you sing from your balls and why the Sydney Opera House isn't all that. Plus there's some world class singing (from Rob) and a story about Frank Bruno.We're at the Clapham Grand with Things People Did every month, get your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopodIf you would like to be a guest on the show, click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewformTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/thingspeopledoTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/thingspeopledoTo grow the show on socials, look for @thingspeoplepod on Instagram, Twitter and TiktokSend us your ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom to joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.

Our guest today is Ross, who is a Warden at The Tower of London. This episode is nothing short of a fascinating (and absolutely bonkers) history lesson that involves elephants drinking wine, Anne Boleyn's ghost, William the Bastard aka Conqueror, and a bloke called Colonel Blood who tried to steal the Crown Jewels and ended up being the King's best mate. Plus, we learn what is the actual point of a Beefeater.We're at the Clapham Grand with Things People Did every month, get your tickets here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopodIf you would like to be a guest on the show, click here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewformTo get ad-free and longer episodes on Apple, hit the 'grow the show' button or click: https://apple.co/3sAX0xROn Spotify you can subscribe for £1 a week by clicking this link: https://anchor.fm/thingspeopledoTo become an official sponsor, go to Patreon.com/thingspeopledoTo grow the show on socials, look for @thingspeoplepod on Instagram, Twitter and TiktokSend us your ideas for the show, and questions for Joe and Tom to joe@crowdnetwork.co.ukMusic courtesy of BMG Production Music Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a classic episode from back when we had no listeners. Joe and Tom meet car salesman Lloyd this week, and most of their questions seem to come from watching Danny DeVito in Roald Dahl’s Matilda.

We're back at the Clapham Grand with another live episode of Things People Did. Our guest this week is a comedian, podcast legend and gentleman with the finest sideburns around... it's Mike Bubbins! He tells us all about working on the checkouts before barcodes were invented, driving a van illegally in Toronto, and the time he broke a students leg while he was a PE Teacher (which was an accident of course). Add in a free packet of Welsh-cakes and a world class Elvis impression, and you've got yourself an excellent episode.
