My good son, it is Beefhead Day!
Hello, and welcome to the Beef and Dairy Network podcast, the number one podcast for those involved or just interested in the production of beef animals and dairy herds. The Beef and Dairy
Network podcast is the podcast companion to the Beef and Dairy Network website as well as the
printed magazine brought to you by Granium Nutritional Sand.
And, as you've heard in their ad, they've just released a range of beefhead flavours,
and from what I can tell, they're really going down a treat.
We've had lots of letters and emails, but here's just one, which is a representative sample.
It's from Tara, who is a farmhand in Somerset, and she writes,
What could be more festive this beefhead tide than hand-feeding a sick bullock some melon-flavoured sand-based grass replacement
and sneaking a handful of it into my pocket to smuggle home for my aunt's famous beefhead day melon trifle?
A lovely festive tableau there, Tara, thank you.
Although I have reported that theft to your employer, who informs me that your contract has been brought to an end. Your last day is Beefhead
Eve. Please remember to give back your gas-powered cattle pacifier and protective chainmail tabard.
And have a very happy Beefhead Day. So yes, it's Beefhead. Not just a remembrance of a
medieval justice ritual involving those accused of crimes being forced to wear a beefhead whilst being put to trial by birds who would peck out the eyes of those wrongly accused.
It's also a time for family, a time for celebration and a time for beefhead soup.
Later, we speak to acclaimed stage actor Roger Westcott-Lemay-Grillet about his new Beefhead song.
stage actor Roger Westcott-Lemay-Grillet about his new BFED song. But first, two people who won't be coming together this BFED day are former darts champion Kenny Baritone and his wife Yvonne.
You may know Kenny from his success in the darts world, becoming the first and only West Yorkshire
darts champion to win the title not using his hands, but using his strong cheeks to blow the
darts to their intended destination.
He has also been visible in recent years as the public faces of the Pig Milk Marketing Board and Alan Bamberer's Cold Beer for Dogs.
Yvonne is best known for being the mother to one of Britain's biggest ever babies.
After consuming huge amounts of cow's milk during her pregnancy,
Yvonne had given birth to a nine-foot child.
At that time, Kenny and Yvonne were living together in their family home with Kenny's 21 children,
as well as Kenny's friend and cleaner Sally Pottington and her four children, one of which was a cyclops.
We thought it'd be good to catch up with the couple to see what the latest is with the developments of baby Talbot,
but when we made contact with Yvonne, she told us that she had broken up with Kenny
and she refused to be in the same room as him, but was happy to be interviewed over the internet.
So, Kenny Baritone and Yvonne Samson, actually. Hello and welcome to the show.
Hello.
Hello. Good to be back.
Hello and welcome to the show.
Hello.
Hello.
Good to be back.
Now, before we sort of get down to brass tacks,
Yvonne, as I introduced you there as Yvonne Sampson,
no longer Yvonne Baritone.
No.
Tell me how that happened.
Well, it's been a while since we've spoken.
And I've been on quite the journey, actually.
I don't mind telling you.
And, yeah, it was baritone.
I've gone back to Samson because Kenny and I are no longer together.
And actually, this is the first time we've been even on a mutual phone call.
I won't be in a WhatsApp group with him.
I am in a Facebook group with him, but it's only because I can't work out how to leave.
But other than that,
I will not participate in any form of communication with him.
And what is that Facebook group about?
There's a shed that nobody knows who it belongs to or what it's doing.
And it's in the middle of a roundabout
and nobody's been brave enough to approach it
to actually suss it out so the
community we're in just a facebook group now and again people say oh i saw someone coming out of it
but they're talking shit um so we're just and and if for example you were just you were logging
onto facebook and you saw kenny commenting in that facebook group yeah how does that make you feel
it makes me feel sick because he does comment on it but
it's only when the other ladies have commented and he'll put something ridiculous like wish i
could put my rake in your shed i've got a hoe or two do you know that sort of thing my lawnmower's
big it's real big and stinky and sort of dripping in oil.
You know, and I see these things and I think,
Kenny, you haven't changed.
He's libido.
That's the only good thing I can say about Mr. Kenny Barrison is the man's libido will not quit.
Yvonne, baby darling, please, you know this is my problem.
I have been blessed or maybe cursed by god up in
the magisterial kingdom of heaven with too much seed i'm a man with too much seed and it must be
shown you know right now kenny you've you've sat there listening to this um i'm to believe this is the
first time you've had an opportunity to say anything to uh to yvonne since your the breakdown
of your marriage yeah um how do you respond to to what's said so far first off there's a couple of
glaring inaccuracies i am on the shed group morning noon and night because like the rest
of the wider community I want to
understand what's in this shed
I've got close to it, put my ear against it
and it's a mechanical sound
inside, sounds like a
million church bells ringing
certainly, it's only
six by four so I'm as
perplexed as everybody else
and in terms of my conduct on the Facebook
group, these are difficult times we're living in terms of my conduct on the Facebook group,
these are difficult times we're living in. We've got to keep the mood right.
And a middle-aged man making saucy jokes, I'm sorry, he got us through the blitz.
Guys, let me just interject here. Now, you're not on the show to talk about your Facebook group,
and I'm aware, I don't want to stoke the fires here of your of your disagreements but i think the listener would be interested in knowing what it was that actually led to your relationship breaking down in the way that it obviously has
when we spoke to you last time you were very much in love you had um just got married uh avon wearing
a beautiful black pvc bikini and and Kenny, you seem to be coming around to the idea
that you would be a good father to Talbot, your nine-foot baby.
You know, what's gone wrong here?
There was an evening that really changed things for me.
So as you know, we were living with our cleaner, Sally Pottington.
Pottington.
And her four children.
And I suspected, I began to suspect something was
going on between kenny and sally pottington because they were sleeping in the same bed
but they said nothing was happening and i believed them from you know i'm sorry where
were you sleeping davon i was on the the downstairs on the kitchen counter. I've got a bad back.
And I think once you've flipped a disc, it's better to be on a hard surface.
So I was on the kitchen island.
Hard and high, isn't it?
That's what they say.
As high as you can, as hard as you can.
And for as long as you can.
So sometimes I'd do weeks, you know, months.
And so I understood Kenny and Sally would sleep in the bed.
It only made sense. But they said nothing was going on.
And I believed them until one night I'd put all 25 children to bed.
And I went into their room and I saw Kenny and Sally in my PVC wedding bikini, both in the same one.
my pvc wedding bikini both in the same one right and i said hang about something's not right here and sally tried to say i was just trying it on um and kenny was trying to help me and then he
he accidentally slicked into it with me and anyway I uh began to suspect then and uh the fact
that I was stood in the room and they did just continue to have um what is medically described
as sexual intercourse uh for four to five hours while I was in the room screaming yes yes baby
this is great this is the best sexual intercourse of my entire life
uh i love you sally pottington more than my wife yvonne samson yes baby yes baby come on baby all
night long and that's when i thought you know what fool me once shame on me have sexual intercourse
in front of me for four to five hours with another woman. Shame on you, Kenny Baratone.
Shame on me, Kenny Baratone.
What you've outlined there is to anybody with half a functioning brain
is just a series of very unfortunate circumstances,
coincidences you might call them,
that have made you think a liar out of me. But what if I told you this scenario?
We were in your PVC wedding dress, because that is a very small terrace house with over
28 people in it. The moisture's in there, and it's getting to the PVC. So we were doing
that. We were stretching it back out, because my plan, aided by my wingman,
Sally Pottington, was to ask you, Yvonne, to renew our vows. And you needed your bin bag on to do
that. But, you know, you've done it. You've tarred me with the, you're a liar, having sex for four
or five hours with me in the room.
Kenny, can I try and get some clarity here?
You're saying that all you were doing was stretching out the PVC bikini so that you could present it to Yvonne and say, let's renew our vows.
On the surface of it, that seems like a nice thing to do.
However, Yvonne makes the claim that you were having sexual intercourse for four to five hours in front of her.
And by the way, that Sally was literally saying, this is the best sexual intercourse I've ever had.
She's doing amateur dramatics
in the local theatre.
And that is a line running through Google
from Yes Inspector Please.
She was doing her lines.
Okay, so she was practising her lines
for an amateur dramatics
performance.
How do you account for what you were doing?
I was doing star jumps.
Because I'm trying to get fit so I could be a better husband and lover to Yvonne.
Well, wanted to be, huh, I guess.
Right, just so I've got this straight, your claim is that you were doing star jumps and that Sally Pottington was rehearsing lines for an amateur dramatics
performance that she was going to give is this plausible avon was sally pottington in a play
well it may have been a play i don't know but either way that doesn't explain why she became
pregnant ah yeah with child with child now is that child has that child been born yes
and you know i guess you were pretty keen to have a look at that little baby's head when it came out
to see whether it looked like a baritone well you can tell by the cheeks i've always said it
it was a baritone it was a baritone through and through it was It's hard to tell through the wrinkles.
Alas, it was a baby that's been born too old.
Do you know, he's come out a little baby size, but it's an old man.
I don't think it's some Benjamin Button thing.
It's come out very old.
And all signs are pointing towards it getting much older.
Yeah.
So you're saying that it's sort of big cheeks are actually a function of the fact that it's got an old man's face
and nothing to do with the fact that you might be his father.
You know how the cheeks get as you age.
This is on an NHF pamphlet that we've all had pushed through the door.
The cheeks become big big bigger than a
young person's cheek and it's fine it's just a signal to everybody that you the soul is getting
ready to leave the body this is this is all on the nhs website avon is this plausible to you that
the baby has big cheeks not because it has kenny genes, but because it is old before its time and has an old face.
I think it can be both.
It can be an old baby and a baritone.
It doesn't need to be an exclusive thing.
It's got strong cheeks.
Yes, they're wrinkly.
Yes, they're old.
Yes, they're withered.
But they're strong like a baritone.
And I know them cheeks anyway.
I've got 21 children, all baritones.
I've seen them cheeks through and through.
So I know, I know a baritone.
And what has come out of her is a baritone boy.
I don't think we could trust anything that's coming out of Sally Pottington.
That uncanny valley has produced a cyclops a multi-dimensional being
do you know what i mean i think like the cyclops next the baby that's uh that's old too young
do you know what i mean i think we just need to remove sally pottington and the offspring from
the table let's talk about where you are now because i believe avon you're still living in the family
home yes uh it's you it's kenny's 21 children yes none of which are yours i don't think well
i had talbot but that was enough for me that sort of ripped me to shreds and just so we're clear
kenny has left the family home is he is he contributing financially to your
situation no no kenny's left um he left well sally's still here you know make of that what
you will and he's not paying anything to me he's not paying anything to sally um we don't really
know where he is i've tried to get in touch with him via a lawyer,
but unfortunately, because I am quite skint,
I don't think he really was a lawyer.
He was just a man I met in a park.
That's a whole other story.
But basically, no, I've not had any money.
I'm living in the same tiny, tiny house.
I can't explain to you how small this house is.
And I'm still just sleeping on the worktop.
Can I put my point across
of course she's saying i haven't paid for to maintain her or the child or any of the other
children but to be fair to me i don't want to i don't want to do that I'm just starting my
exciting third act
you know the sports game
is all about reinvention and I'm starting
a new career as an e-sports
superstar
so hang on you've turned your back on darts
and you've moved on to e-sports
I'm still playing darts but it's socially
it's dried up
the world's dried up there's no pubs anymore
please read the papers so i'm going to south korea and singapore on a near weekly basis
spending every penny that i've got in the attempt of mastering esports with the chance of winning a luxurious top prize and she can have all she wants
how does that sound davon kenny becoming an e-sports star winning some big prizes and then
you can have in his words whatever you like a life of luxury do you know what as far as i concerned
if you're doing your e-sports that doesn't sound like anything to me, that,
because I know you're not very good at computer games
because your hands are nothing.
They've withered to nothing.
I'm not using my hands.
You're doing it with your mouth, are you?
I'm doing it.
I'm playing computer games professionally with just my breath alone,
and you seem to be forgetting that i there's a
lot of stuff that i could do without my hands you know this avon kenny i think you've got esports
and e-cigs mixed up and from what it sounds like and i won't put this past you it sounds like
you're going to singapore to competitively smoke vapes and this is not the sort of man I want
to raise my huge, massive, terrifying child.
I want some stability, Kenny.
Who am I to argue if there's a crowd forming?
I've got to perform.
I've got popcorn rung.
I need help.
So describe the scene for us, Kenny.
You're on a street corner in singapore
you're huffing on these e-cigarettes um i'm imagining increasingly exotic and out there
flavors maybe and there's people crowding around clamoring around like throwing money and and you
know going why don't you vape this one why don't you vape this one? Why don't you vape this one? Offering up different kind of vapes.
And in the hot balmy evening,
the audience congregated around you.
There begins to be a kind of collective mania.
They're not quite in control of what they're saying or doing.
There's like a kind of collective now
where the crowd are all as one.
They are one living organism
and they are intensely focused on watching um a
former darts champion smoking an e-cigarette yeah yeah and what they do is they pass around this
like little bucket container and the crowd gets so proffed up and i'm walking around and the party
trick is that we siphon off a little bit of sweat and perspiration from the
crowd and decant that into the vape so i'm inhaling the audience's so bodily fluids mixed with vanilla
and they they can't get enough of it because it's we've got we've got strictly come dancing
and the traitors but they've got ken Kenny Baratone inhaling bodily vapes.
Oh, that's on TV.
That's on TV in Singapore.
Someone's recording it.
He showed up at one of the shows,
and now he's back at every show,
and his equipment's getting steadily more.
He started off just on his phone,
but now he's got a two-camera setup.
He's got a close-up and a faraway shot and some good lighting.
Rumour has it that this is a viral sensation with a niche audience.
Angry, billionaire businessmen who've been through every vice,
every taboo, forbidden fruit.
They've done it all.
So now they've come to the stage in their life
where the only way they could get the kicks
is by watching me, Kenny Baraton, vaping in Singapore.
Thank you very much.
Now, before we get back to my interview with Kenny and Yvonne,
earlier this week, I spoke to the actor Roger Westcott-Lemay-Grillet, a stage actor probably best known for being shot with a longbow by the entertainer Les Cheese while he was playing Princess Diana on stage at the Chichester Festival. He came in to talk about his new BeFed song.
Hello, my dear fellow. It's wonderful to be here.
Hello, my dear fellow. It's wonderful to be here.
Thank you so much for coming on the show. I know you're a busy guy.
You're working on the Beefhead pageant, which is happening soon.
That's right. I's every year a proud tradition.
And you've got some wonderful guests this year.
Really tremendous, yes.
We've convinced Alan Arkin to play this year's Beefhead, leading the procession. Wow, that's a big booking, Alan Arkin.
I mean, obviously, you yourself are a storied actor with a great... beefhead leading the procession wow that's a big booking alan arkin he's a i mean obviously you
yourself are a storied actor with you know with a great thank you very much yes available for work
a great number of uh films and stage performances but alan arkin he's like you know he's kind of
a-lister level well opinions may differ on that sort of thing i i see him as a
something above an enthusiastic amateur.
But the public seems to like him.
So we thought we'd bring him in to try and attract a new crowd
to the Beefhead pageant.
I don't know if you've ever done
Hollywood work yourself, Roger.
I haven't.
I shun it.
I shun the trappings
and mores of Hollywood.
Right.
Who would take me seriously if they saw me as a robot transforming into a plane?
My reputation would be in tatters.
Yes, okay.
But you have done, for example, you did that very well-known series of adverts
for a brand of anti-flagellants yogurts.
Absolutely.
But I did them with conviction passion and dedication yeah okay but could you not play for example the robot that turns into a plane
with the same level of dedication and conviction with which you played the main character, the hero, if you like,
in the anti-flagellants yogurts adverts.
Although really actually the yogurts, the hero,
but you know what I mean.
Oh, I've tried.
I've tried the motion capturation contrivances before.
The problem is I bring my years of training
and stage-hardened skill to bear.
And when I watch the final product, they've animated a computer creature over my face.
I discovered this when I was due to play a sea creature in Episode 1, The Phantom Menace.
Right. creature in episode one, The Phantom Menace. And when I viewed the work print of the film,
I saw the dead cold eyes of a fish man staring back at me. And I said, where's my bit? And
George Lucas, a wonderful fellow, he said, no, that's you there. That's you. And I said,
destroy this scene. I won't have it viewed by human eye, nor fish eye, as it were.
Is this a bit of a scoop that you, Roger, were the original Jar Jar Binks?
No, the wonderful actor Ahmed Best, of course, was Jar Jar Binks.
I was a friend of his, John John Bonks, who was supposed to appear in the large underwater city scene.
appear in the large underwater city scene. But when I saw those dead fish eyes on storks pantomiming a poor imitation of the performance I had on set given, I said, absolutely not. You
can take the money. Take it back. I won't have this scene seeing the light of day. But of course,
good old Brian Blessed was there and it was a great bit of fun to get absolutely leathered with him
after the day's shooting was finished.
And he has no such qualms about being sort of CGI'd over?
Absolutely not.
You see, Brian is someone who does most of his work with his voice,
his large, booming voice.
But unfortunately, I find that my own vocal performances
are too subtle in isolation and they
require the subtle undulations of the actor's visage to to conjure the emotion required for
the viewer okay let's talk beefhead pageant a dramatic uh rendering of the medieval beefhead
rituals i know a big part of many of our listeners'
beefhead celebrations will be sitting down
next to the radio and listening to the beefhead pageant,
the coverage of the live event,
which of course takes place in different towns
and cities across the UK every year.
This year it is taking place in Birkenhead.
And I'm looking forward to listening.
There's been various things in the press this week
saying that the pageant is in trouble and the number of people actually turning up to attend the pageant
has been falling year on year now for five years. Can you tell me anything about that?
I must admit there has been something of a downturn in attendance. You see,
I fear that the young people are losing touch with Beefhead. They're less interested in it.
They don't connect to it
in the way that we did when I was a lad. Do you feel as many do that Beefhead is being
increasingly overshadowed by Christmas? Is that what's going on?
I will say that during the pageant last year, while I was dressed as Dunstan Hooves,
a young chap came up to me, he could only have been three or four years old, and said,
Father Christmas. And I said, No, you little fool, I'm Dunstan Hooves. And then I pushed him into a
gully. I see. And do you think that that was an isolated incident? Or do you think that your
average child today, faced with a beefhead pageant like yours, would assume it's a Christmas event?
today, faced with a beefhead pageant like yours, would assume it's a Christmas event?
Well, on the whole, I regard children as being simple-minded creatures,
mostly fit for manual labour and being ignored. But I will say, it seems to me that somebody should do something more to entice these children to share in the joy of beefhead.
Christmas has it all sewn up. All of the PR push,
the marketing every December is geared towards Christmas. What are we doing? What are we doing?
Nothing, I say. Well, I think that brings us on to the reason we're talking to you today.
Precisely. You have written and recorded your very own beefhead carol. You claim you think
it's the first beefhead carol to be written in the last 200 years.
In over 200 years, in fact, I believe we worked out it was 212 years
until the last dirge-like melancholy Beefhead Carol had been written.
And so this is my own offering to that oeuvre.
And so I believe that, you know, I've not heard it yet.
We're going to play it here on the podcast.
I believe it's the first public play of this Beefhead Carol. This is an exclusive play of my new Beefhead Carol,
The Woven Beaves. The Woven Beaves. That's it. Now, I've not heard it, as I said, but
from the PR stuff you've sent through in the press release, it seems like what you're trying
to do is do something, may I say, you know, you're trying to make it a little bit more
Christmassy or like appeal to the Christmas crowd.
Well, I'm not sure if I would agree with that. What I would say is that you and I remember
traditional classic beefhead, but the kids today, they just can't relate to that traditional
celebration. So I'm trying to capture what we had then in all of its grandeur, its profundity,
and try and capture it in a way
that's a little more lighthearted
and jolly and festive
and will appeal more to children
reared on Christmas.
As I said, it's an exclusive.
Thank you so much for giving us that exclusive.
You're more than welcome.
And once we've played it,
if listeners like what they hear,
where can they go and listen to this
in their own time?
I understand there are plans
for it to be uploaded to Spotify by February. Fantastic. I've been told by the people at
Spotify that every time someone listens to the song, we get 0.000001 pence. And this troubled
me for a moment, but I spoke to them and they reassured me that as long as people listen to the song 60 billion times, I'll make enough to buy a new car.
Wow, that's great.
I say new, new to me, secondhand probably.
Right. So if your song is listened to 60 billion times, that would be every person on earth listening to it 10 times.
Possible.
Yes.
If everyone...
How many listeners do you have?
We're talking about several hundred million, right?
Well, we definitely know.
We've definitely got 60 listeners.
For sure.
Great.
At least 60.
That's what we know about.
But there could potentially be many millions more than that.
We just know about that hardcore of 60, because they, of course, get the cassette that we send out.
Apart from that, we've got no other numbers.
Well, I'm speaking directly to all of those 60 hardcore devoted listeners now.
If you could all do your level best towards trying to listen to the song one billion times,
to the song one billion times,
then the people at Spotify assure me that I'll be able to buy myself
a brand new secondhand car
and I can stop having to catch
the bloody train.
You don't like a train, Roger?
Oh, I don't mind trains.
I respect the rail networks very much.
It's the stink of piss and shits
coming from the buffet car
that troubles me.
I'm a professional actor, for God's sake.
Well, Roger, it's been an
absolute pleasure to talk to you, and I'm really
excited to hear this. Delighted, dear boy.
A new take on the
Beefhead Carol. An upbeat,
friendly-sounding, Christmassy,
positive look
at the Beefhead Carol. That's right.
So get your dancing shoes on and prepare to tap your toes to this upbeat Beefhead Carol. That's right. So get your dancing shoes on
and prepare to tap your toes
to this upbeat Beefhead number.
Lovely.
Well, thank you, Roger.
And let's play it now.
Jolly Beefhead.
When the sparrows tumble down
Who will take the beefhead crown?
When the birds they peck the eyes
Who will hear your desperate cries?
When Dunstan hooves he is abroad
Who will wield the diamond sword
when ox tail Sam
rises once more
who will heal
his twelve wounds sore
judge me harshly
judge me well
prepare the feast

Peepers plucked from within my head

What would you like your beefhead gift to be this year?
All I want is justice the natural justice of
birds very good very good and have you been a good boy this year well I did
steal an onion and how many onions did you steal, boy? Just one.
Release the birds!
Cleanse the soul of this foul onion thief!
No! Through the darkness comes the night
The light of justice burning bright
The beefhead man is the best of us
Blind and screaming in the dust. And if you'd like to listen to this year's Beefhead Pageant with Roger Westcott-Lemay-Grillet and Alan Arkin,

Unless they are raccoon hands, that is okay.
That is absolutely okay, yeah.
Yes.

Plus, we'll discover differences between pet ownership across the pond.
It's going to be a hoot on Maximum Fun.
Now back to our big interview with Kenny and Yvonne.
Let's talk about your medical megababy, Talbot.
Yeah.
Last we spoke, he was 18 months old he's
now almost four yeah and back then he was nine feet tall and basically living outside on the
moors in in the forests yeah local farmers weren't very happy they were chasing him they were firing
weapons at him etc and i believe he's gone underground yeah yeah he's very happy now he loves the sewers
it's very much like you know when you get um a hamster cage and you put the the tunnels on the
tubes and it goes round and they love it and he he loves it he's i i feel safer knowing he's in
the sewers there's less to hurt him. Because obviously, you know,
every other day there'd be, he'd come back and he'd shout out the bedroom window from the outside and he'd say, but I knew what he was saying was the farmers tried to use a harpoon on me again.
You know what I mean? Like the army's here twice a month. It's a a nightmare but now he's in the sewers he's safe you know he's not
harming anybody and it actually works out really well for us and you know now and again i have to
you know what kids are like i have to you know chuck some some live cattle down the holes of
the sewers just to make sure, you know,
if he's being a bit grumpy or a bit shy and he don't want to come out to get his food.
But it's actually working out very, very well.
I'd love to know exactly how big he is.
I haven't been able to get close enough to measure him.
God, he's definitely grown since we last spoke.
But, oh, would I say he's doubled? It's difficult to tell because he moves at quite a speed as well now it was quite clumsy before but he's he's sort of he's become
frighteningly fast and he's uh he's sort of in danger of getting stuck in the tube a bit isn't
he's because like plants emphasize sunlight uh our beloved talbot synthesizes dark and moss so he's uh just
bigger and bigger and bigger every now and again he sort of takes a turn and he goes into too small
a pipe um and every now and again i track him down i find him stuck in his pipe and i give his
little feet a tickle and run off before he catches me and crushes me with his hands.
Now, it sounds like Talbot's doing okay.
I wonder, Kenny, obviously you're starting this new life for yourself in Singapore.
Have you given any thought to whether Talbot could or should join you over there?
I know this is a tricky subject, but it must have crossed your mind.
I know this is a tricky subject, but it must have crossed your mind.
I've talked to these lads in Singapore, and I think there's a real market for what Talbot's got.
What do you think about that, Yvonne?
I don't want my four-year-old child going to Singapore to smoke e-cigs for businessmen.
There is a burgeoning giant baby fight club circuit over there
and I'm telling you, if I get in
one or two fights, someone will buy him
some sunglasses, Yvonne. Someone
will buy him some snap around sunglasses
that snap around his head
and he looks really cool and
he'll buy him a shell suit. And isn't
that the life that you said you always
wanted for him? You wanted him with a shell suit. And isn't that the life that you said you always wanted for him?
You wanted him with a shell suit with snap-around glasses.
You're using this against me because you know that's what I want.
You know that's what I've always wanted.
The second I saw him sprinting across them fields,
ripping them cows apart, I thought,
get that tiny, tiny young child who happens to be a massive
giant a shell suit and some wraparound sunglasses. You know that about me, Kenny, and I just feel
like you're bringing it up to try and, you know, make me react, you know, make me think that the
future could be with us again. But I don't believe for one second that this could happen. I would love to get
him a shell suit.
I've looked everywhere for shell suits
in his size. I've looked for any clothes
in his size. He's walking
around wrapped in a marquee.
Yvonne, baby!
Listen, let me paint a scene for you.
We could start again.
Singapore is the place
to go. Singapore is the only place in the world
that could satisfy Talbot's bloodlust
watching Talbot tear up other big babies
from around the world
he'll be happy
I could ride him around
like a stallion
and if I could promise you one thing
we will be so far away from the Cyclops.
He won't be able to see us.
Finally, that eye will be looking elsewhere.
God, can we please put that in RSPCA or Summit?
I can't.
The Cyclops is just, it's too much.
I'm tired and it's a lot.
You know, the laser beam,
one look and you could be dead.
It's an awful way to live.
Just to explain to listeners maybe
who haven't heard the previous interview with you,
just to fill them in,
one of the children that Yvonne lives with
is one of the children of Sally Pottington
who is a Cyclops who can fire a laser from its eye yeah yeah i think
they would have i think they would have got that to be honest it's a sort of typical family situation
you know a nuclear family but nuclear in a different sense
so kenny you've got this strong view of how you want your future to be you and talbot in singapore
you're making money professionally smoking people's sweat on the streets he's making waves
in the giant baby fight club scene uh he's wearing his rapper and sunglasses and his uh
michelle suit making loads of money. Yvonne,
do you buy into this vision? Do you want this
to be your future? Because I think it's
there for you, if you want it.
Sounds awful. It really does.
It sounds absolutely, I couldn't think of anything
worse, except
for maybe living in a tiny,
tiny house with 25 children and
sleeping on a kitchen island with no
money and no hope and a
massive shitty baby running around the sewers you know so it's a tricky one because it's a real bad
offer but it just happens to be slightly better than my current situation so what do you want to
say to kenny right now oh gosh it's it's a lot isn't? Oh, gosh, it's a lot, isn't it, really?
It's a lot of emotions process.
I'd say, Kenny, you were the love of my life.
You're the only man whose cheeks have ever brought me to tears.
And that's never going to change.
I don't know if I'm making a huge mistake here,
but I just think a new start, a new life with you and some children, not all the children, maybe, because there's so many now.
I just think, yeah, you know what?
Maybe I've had enough of this kitchen counter.
Maybe I've had enough of this tiny, tiny damp house. Maybe it's time
for me, Yvonne, to live
her life and do things
for her. And if doing things
for myself involves
moving across the world for you,
then
so be it, actually.
But what are we going to do about this cyclops?
No, we can't bring the cyclops.
I don't want the cyclops no well we can't bring this we can't bring the cycle i don't want
the cyclops it's a nightmare um all i can think of is we send the cyclops into that shed on the
roundabout yes with the mechanisms and the whirring and the sort of static electricity sound
and the bells i think we send him in, we open the door,
we'll find out what's going on once and for all.
The community will be happy.
We can shut down the Facebook group.
And you know what?
If it doesn't come back, it doesn't come back.
If it's dead, it's dead.
But the one thing I know is that my love for you isn't dead.
That's good to hear.
My love for you is the opposite of a cyclops child going into a mysterious shed.
It's not dead, Kenny.
It's alive.
It's alive and kicking and breathing
and I'm ready for Singapore.
Yvonne, we'll all be together finally
as a family this merry Beefhead Day.
It's a Beefhead miracle. Well, thank you both. It's been great to talk to you. It's been great
to catch up. And I feel like, you know, and I'm not, maybe I don't want to big up my role in this,
but it feels like we've brokered some kind of future for you two. And I'm excited about it.
And I hope you are as well and
i hope we can catch up with you in the future and see how it's going in singapore and i wish
you both the very best and a very merry beefhead merry beefhead to you oh my god thank you for
bringing us together you've really changed our life and i don't even know which part of scotland
singapore is but i am gonna get there for BFED.
You mark my words.
BFED morning, I'm waking up there.
Merry BFED to all.
A big thanks to Kenny and Yvonne.
And since that interview,
we've had the news that Talbot has been successfully apprehended,
tranquilised and tied to the prow of an oil freighter,
which will safely convey him to Singapore.
And before we go, a final treat for you.
It's your opportunity to win tickets to this year's Beefhead Ball,
which of course is taking place at the Montgolfier Golf Hotel
in Golf Course and Golf Course,
and this year features a performance by none other than Cardi B herself,
full name Cardigan Beef.
And I've been told that she's been working with the police dog display team
of West Mercia Police to put together a really show-stopping event.
So for your chance to win two tickets, simply answer the question.
If you have a broom, but over the course of the last 10 years,
you replaced the head of the broom nine times,
and you've replaced the shaft of the broom six times,
then do you need to think about
looking for a supplier of sturdier brooms? Answers in an email to beefanddairynetwork at gmail.com.
So that's all we've got time for this month. But if you're after more beef and dairy news,
get over to the website now where you'll find all the usual stuff as well as our off-topic section,
where this month you'll find a prank video that we've put together where we got a Christopher Walken lookalike to try and fool Walken's wife. We thought it was
going to be a fun little prank, but she still hasn't twigged, and the real Christopher Walken,
who she now thinks is a lookalike and won't let into their house, is having to live in his car.
In a way, it's more successful than we could have imagined but on the other hand it's really making
us rethink what we should do with the off-topic section because at the end of the day he is a
very old man living now in the cramped surroundings of a lamborghini countach so until next time beef out thanks to chris cantrell amy glattel and tom crowley hi everybody my name is justin mcroy
and i'm sydney mcroy dr sydney mcroy that that is true it's important in this context because we host
a medical history podcast called Sawbones.
Oh, I thought we were going to, we should have worked on that.
Sawbones.
Sawbones isn't afraid to ask the hard-hitting questions.
Like, are vaccines as safe and reliable as they want us to believe?
Yes.
Do I have to get a flu shot?
Yes.
Okay.
Is science a miracle?
No. We have a lot of great history. Is science a miracle? No.
We have a lot of great history for you
and a lot of laughs. And sometimes
the history is so bad that there's no laughs.
But. You'll learn something.
You'll feel something.
And it's always sawbones. That's right.
