Hello Rissington… Rissington?

There has been no radio contact with Rissington since episode 15 about a month or so ago? Should I get the tank, mummy?

I like playing with the tank wot.

Ha ha, yeh I was meaning to mention Nacho Libre in the post but forgot. Dammit! Yes I envision Oxton as a stretchy pants man, for sure.

Yes I think I get a lot more information out of Paul Boag and Marcus Lillington, to be fair. Marcus is a dark horse and may well be a ring-in with a hell of a back-street forearm jolt. Good call on the technique versus tough, too.

I’d have to stretch my loyalty to Boagworld for the bet then - 20 cents in the center (or is it centre) and a bonus marble for anyone who gives out a black eye!

And, Paul, if you hear me down in the trenches - bring back the World of Boag. Don’t listen to the critics.

Oh, boy! It’s not easy. On one hand Paul and Marcus have been doing for a long time now, and have the experience and know-how. On the other, John and Jon have a very different approach. If this was a Mexican wrestling match (now, that’s an idea!) Boagworld would be the “technique” side while Rissington would be the “tough” wrestlers.

Hmmm… I think that Rissington would win the first “fall”, but Boagworld would take the next two to prevail in the end. Most likely with Paul and Marcus holding John and Jon in a double-nelson combination.

ha ha true Matt. I’m a big Boagworld fan from way back, too. I think they’re both aimed at slightly different approaches, which is refreshing.

I’m not sure how they’d go in hand to hand combat though… especially in jelly.

BTW what other podcasts do you listen to regularly? I listen to WebAxe and generally try to keep up with conference podcasts as they come available. @media had good ones the last few years. And don’t forget Jared Spool’s SpoolCasts, they’re good…

Paul and Marcus would win, to be fair to John and Jon though: Boagworld have been doing it for a lot longer!
