Richard Herring Me1 v Me2 Snooker - Frame 58

2015/05/05

Frame 58: Labour Vs Conservatives. In a politically charged contest, family man Me1 takes on the wannabe Katie Hopkins Me2 on the green board to see who will win the upcoming election. Like Me3 it swings both ways and the finish is as tight as Nigel Farage's anus when he's walking through Brixton on his own at night. But there is some thrilling snooker followed by some rubbish snooker, that will surely make all those who favour the rubbish 2-player world championships reconsider their life

Frame 57 - Ill-Judged. Bad tempers, poor shot-choice and unpleasant opinions add up to make this one of the most scintillating and upsetting frames of snooker between one man that you are ever likely to hear in audio format. But perhaps we see in the play (both the snooker play and the play that is human life) where anger and bitterness come from. Or perhaps we don't. It gets deeply political too. This really is the podcast with everything. See Richard on tour:

Frame 56 - My Daddy Plays Himself At Snooker In The Basement. It's the first post-baby frame of snooker and joining the cats as a spectator to the greatest sport on earth is Phoebe Herring, Me1's new daughter, who will one day inherit the family business. Me2 is not as enchanted with the mewling child as his opponent. Will fatherhood make Me1 weak or virile? Will having to care for a baby (even by proxy) diminish Me2 and cause him to disappear? It's the old age battle of lonely freedom versus loving

Frame 55 - A Change is as Good as a Rest (no pun intended). Will normality ever be restored in the [insert recently deceased person or animal here] arena? It's hard to know, because what was normal down here was never all that normal. Maybe if they dig a bit further into madness the whole thing will come out sane. Me1 is awaiting the birth of his baby - will that focus his efforts or distract him? Can the podcast survive with a baby in the house? Will the baby ensure the long-term survival of the

Frame 54 - For the Sake of old Lang Died. Me Vs Me snooker is still in crisis and there are more sure to be unpopular decisions from Me79, the dictatorial head of the Self-Playing Snooker Federation or Board. But audiophiles will get some perverse delight from this frame as it is recorded with a new omni-directional microphone which seems to work OK. Who will be taking to the green board today? Will any of them draw any cartoons of fictional deities? Will he who has been shunned be allowed to

Frame 53 - A New Dawn/Low - The Self-Playing Snooker Federation are in a flap about recent comments made by one of the Mes and it seems disciplinary action may be required. But no one could have guessed the level to which their disapproval would reach. And it means a brave new world for the sport of Self Playing Snooker in a development that will surely satisfy nobody. Where a man playing himself at snooker has been acknowledged as one of the greatest sporting and artistic events, this new and

Frame 52 - Could Ronnie O'Sullivan Beat Himself? An odd atmosphere in the Question Mark Arena this week as Richard seems genuinely annoyed by Me2 persisting in his controversial and unpalatable views. Will the furore that all this is bound to cause in all the Self Playing Snooker Press spell the end of this long-running series of podcasts? After listening to the extremely poor standard of play in this frame you might be hoping so. What dark secret is at the heart of Me2's depression? Has he gone

Frame 51 - Tascam Sabotage? After the excitement of Frame 50, both players are keen to get back to the green board, if only to publicise Richard's upcoming Leicester Square Theatre tour dates. But the Tascam, recently fully charged, is inexplicably out of juice and after a half hour charge. Will there be enough power to get the whole frame in? That's part of the excitement. It turns out there isn't. And so the commentators and players try to take you through what happened next and give you the final

Frame 50 - Wang Kun RIP. No one would have believed this when this mad adventure begun, but the Me vs Me snooker juggernaut has reached its 50th frame and shows no signs of slowing down (in fact it might be speeding up a bit). The Mes are both desperate to win this landmark frame and, although there's an awful lot of sponsorship messages to get through (the bane of modern sporting life), this is perhaps the most skilful and exciting frame of the lot. You'd be snooker loopy to miss it, it's got

Frame 49 - 9/11. On Remembrance Sunday the players make their own poorly judged tributes to those who have fallen in combat and those who died in the tragedy of the 9th of November. But they're playing for something much more important than that: Who is the father of the baby that Me1's wife is carrying? There's some terrible things said, some awful commentating and some of the worst refereeing ever seen in this competition. Richard Herring would like to distance himself from the opinions and

Frame 48 - This is What I Do When You're in the Park. The Mes make a snap decision to play a frame on the old green board while the house is empty, but little do they know who is going to drop by. In the first frame ever to feature another human being apart from any of the many Mes, you won't believe what happens next. It's the shortest podcast ever and there's some spectacular play, but who will come out of this all important 45th tussle between the pair (not including Chris Evans - not that one -

Frame 47 - Almonds. In the brave new world of the (spoiler alert) Independent Scotland, self-playing snooker continues in England (though it is not yet clear whether there will ever be another Scotch frame). Me 1 has just been for a 10 and a half mile run, but his fatigue seems to have hit everyone. No one seems capable of talking, thinking, refereeing or playing snooker. Only the new scoring system is infallible and able to carry out calculations that would once have taken days in a matter of

Frame 46 - Union Break? - Finally they're back. Me1 and Me2 have been concentrating on their running (sponsor them here - http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/RichardHerring - all money goes to SCOPE), but they've found time to reignite the ultimate contest on the green board. And this time they are playing for something almost as important as another frame in their never-ending battle: the fate of the Scottish nation rests in their cue actions.

Frame 45 - So Fair and Foul a Day. The random nature of events is demonstrated by this frame. Had it not rained in York tonight Richard would have been watching the Division 2 play off semi-final, but as that game was postponed the exhausted Mes were called upon to produce a frame of snooker. And perhaps they need the preparation time as this frame sees without doubt the poorest play ever heard in this competition. It's just embarrassing. Even by the standards of this podcast.

Frame 44 - MCJE Arena. After almost three months on hiatus the world's best audio only self-playing snooker podcast is back with a controversial sponsor, in an attempt to divert focus from the world snooker championship which is still so stuck in the past that it has two different players in each frame and allows video cameras in. Referee 1 can't find the right size triangle and the snooker board seems to be even more skew-whiff than usual. But the important thing is that Me 1 and Me 2 are back in

Frame 42 - Massive Janus. It's the bank holiday fixture that everyone has been anticipating, a new year and a new frame. Some people fear that the sport is all about the sponsorship now, but those people should certainly not visit richardherring.cottoncart.com and buy a mug or a T-shirt. Never fear the important thing here is the self-playing snooker and finding out who is best at it. Happy New Year! http://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_snooker/

Frame 41 - Peter O' Tooletide. It's Christmas at the venue formerly known as Nelson Mandela Hall and there's some fun and high-jinks to start things off, but then we're down to the deadly serious business of a man playing himself at snooker to determine which of him is best. Alas fans of one of the players will have their own Christmas wrecked when they hear the result, but the fans of the other player will have the Yuletide of their lives. And the neutrals will probably not have their Christmas

Frame 40 - A Tribute To Nelson Mandela. The Mes play tribute to the greatest human being to ever have lived in the only way they know how: they play themselves at snooker. They also reveal how they were inspired by Mandela and how they in turn possibly inspired him. But let us remember him not with tears, but with self-playing snooker. And though it's hard to be sure what Mandela would have wanted of all the Mes in the basement with their snooker board, I think we can be almost certain that he would

Frame 39 - Back to Black. Three months have passed since the controversial Scotch frame, but Me1 and Me2 and the Self-Playing Snooker Board have completed their enquiry and we will finally find out if the result of Frame 38 is allowed to stand. And more importantly who will win Frame 39? Everyone is finding their feet again and is unsure of who they are or what they're meant to be like, but the sabbatical from snooker has not affected either player's ability. They are both as good as they were in
