Absolutely bored out of my box, and I'm really missing my fix of interesting stuff. In the comments there's a few things getting me through it - thought some of you might like some inspiration if you're in the same boat. Please add your own recommendations too (looking at you here @glenn718 - not had a good chat about a conspiracy theory in ages).

Football: Brazil v Italy, '82 World Cup. Right now, I'm convinced that this is the greatest football match of all time. Rossi, Zico, Socrates and the kind of defending that leaves a silent scream in your throat. You can watch it all here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBC02hKBTlQ&feature=youtu.be&goal=0_1ef7d5694a-2bef2ccea9-217595569&mc_cid=2bef2ccea9&mc_eid=97cd599c84
The greatest goal of all time. The puff of chalk when the great philosopher scores is just magic.
Cycling: Tour of Flanders - all of them. The guys who run the Tour of Flanders put up documentaries on youtube, and they've finally added English subtitles. Boonen, Cancellara, Sagan - they're all in there. You can watch them back to 2012: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR_wZzXsCRU14Gf2rjn40tCGtNr0OZ9zx
In for a Penny It's that nonsense show with Stephen Mulhern on ITV after Ant & Dec. It's brilliant, don't judge me.
Hot Boxin' with Mike Tyson This is a podcast. I'm not a big fan of him - he's definitely been one of the world's worst human beings in the world at one point in his life. But on the other hand, he's spent a lot of time in therapy. Also, let's not forget that he was also the best boxer in the world for a good while too. This combination means that people just open up to him - he's not even a great interviewer, but you spend a whole hour wondering why people just tell him this stuff. His interview with Justin Wren (MMA fighter) was ace, and his one with Eminem is unbelievable. Whatever, you can get lost in his archive. Anyway, it's a podcast, so you can get it on any number of apps. Or here: https://www.hotboxinpodcast.com/
Elis James & John Robins Probably the finest radio you'll ever hear. You can catch up on them all on BBC Sounds. I'd suggest starting with the Christmas episode which is a kind of "best of", but honestly you can't go wrong: Catch 'em all here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m0005fdz?page=1
Bloody loving these isolation tape podcasts. Yeah, the Xmas market one is still the best. 👍
Nearly crashed my car I was laughing at it so much!!
Yeah. When Elis is commentating on Johns darts performance. 😂😂😂
Dolly Parton's America Another podcast. It's just the story of Dolly Parton. But Dolly is great right? At least this podcast is: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dolly-partons-america/about
That Time Obama Pardoned a Guy Who Stole Charlie Sheen's Honus Wagner Card A Coen Brothers-esque tale about knuckleheaded kitchen staffers at the All-Star Café, a Hollywood A-lister, the Mona Lisa of baseball cards and a plan that went horribly wrong. https://www.si.com/sports-illustrated/2020/02/26/all-star-cafe-heist?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=email
There’s an Entire Industry Dedicated to Making Foods Crispy, and It Is WILD Ever wonder why are we so drawn to the snap of a potato chip or the crackle of fried chicken? Biology, psychology, and an incredible amount of engineering. https://www.bonappetit.com/story/crispy
Remember when Elon Musk called that guy a really nasty name in Thailand? And then got taken to court? Yeah, Elon Musk, eh? All the good (and bad) stuff about it is in here: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanmac/elon-musk-cant-lose?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BuzzFeed%20News%20-%20January%2031%2C%202020&utm_content=B&utm_term=News%20confirmed%20list
Hi pal I’ve not got much to go on, there’s not much happening on the planet right now 🤣 if only China could put the world into chaos we would have something to chat about 🤞
