The Rave

…it’s time to start thinking about it - see the details here.

Episode 100 (15 August 2009) is the “Century of The BYC Episode” in which we celebrate our 100th show with a mgnificent tribute based on We Are the World, live in-studio guests include the Irwinator and the Nemesis, we enjoy gifts from Boston and rheineck Dry, plus a cake from the Ace, and then we get started on our pub crawl across Wellington. Beautiful - well batted chaps. (And we are too giddy with joy to accept nominations for the Exchange4Free.com Sellout of the Week) ..listen in to the streaming version just below…nail the RSS feed for your Pod catcher…or visit The BYC page on iTunes.

Dear BYC

There used to be a time when as the day would draw to a close and we’d retire to the bedroom, if my old man had a glint in his eye then I knew there was some fun to be had.

Over the past year or so that we’ve been avid fans of BYC, when he has a glint in his eye that now means he’s downloaded your latest podcast and we’ll fall asleep listening to it, one ear each. Oh the fun of married life with children….

We love your work. 89 and 99 are my personal favourites. Congratulations on your century. If you make it past 111 then my money’s on you making it a double.

Over at Dawn.com, Saad Shafqat has penned a ripper piece entitled “The seven stages of a Pakistan cricket fan”. I’ve taken the liberty of New Zealandising his treatise but make sure you have a squizz at his original piece. The guts of it is that the personalities of cricket supporters are divided into seven segments - although there are really eight.

In the context of the Pakistan team, the highs are probably much higher than what we have experienced here in New Zealand for a while, but like the men in green our New Zealand team can lurch between being brilliant and wretched in the space of a day or two.

Bill & Ben take the piss out of the brilliant piss-take On A Boat by The Lonely Island, see here for that piece of original genius.

Thank you Wallbank for bringing Koda to our attention: 35kg and 59cm tall….a very small horse.

Episode 99 (09 August 2009) is the “All But One” episode in which we line up for the 99th time and talk of nuns in Leeds, an outstanding array of Emos from around the world, Ashes trivia, the fake tan-off between Warne and Botham, the Woman Slayer corpses in his GNR tribute, and the ECB and FLOM are nominated as the Exchange4Free.com Sellout of the Week ..listen in to the streaming version just below…nail the RSS feed for your Pod catcher…or visit The BYC page on iTunes.

Or was he out hit wicket? No, it’s off an ad apparently, looks legit though.

Episode 98 (03 August 2009) is the “Mahna Mahna Manoo Manou” episode in which The Godfather & Kev hold court, the News or Ruse is wearing great undies, the SCG cops are under fire, Kev makes some bold Ashes predictions, the Exchange4Free.com Sellout of the Week receives some powerful nominations and a smorgasbord of emos from around the cricketing and non-cricketing world…listen in to the streaming version just below…nail the RSS feed for your Pod catcher…or visit The BYC page on iTunes.

This cop is currently in court over an allegation of police brutality - looks like a ridiculous over-reaction by the policeman to me. Disgraceful.
