Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. Warning: The following podcast contains jokes that some viewers may find disturbing. Listener discretion is seriously advised. And we are back wearing 15 hats with Dickie Bird contemplating a Guinness World Record attempt, eating more schnitzel than Josef Frtizl and Imac'ing our leg pit hair with a woman named Fanny. In addition Lewis is scouring Sanjay's top shelf for a copy of Razzle from 1985 to s...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. For our anniversary episode we ask our twenty million listeners to make a fair and impartial decision based on the facts as provided. Is he a cunt? No. Is he Killian Jornet? No. Is there Strava proof? They need to know for their New York Stock Exchange listing. We also need to know the top 5 countries for banned athletes (hint: the top country is also the top country for world records too. Quelle surprise!). And...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. Buckets in! More Mo Mowlam than Mo Farah, more Orville than Ovette, more Pauline Fowler's growler than Paula Radcliffe, and more Roger De Courcy and Nookie bear than Roger Bannister, this is the 13th episode of the Fourth Worst Podcast on Running, the sporting equivalent of the Joey Deacon Memorial Swim, and it is the Hannover special, a recap of what would be my 100th marathon on my return to the capital ...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. In this episode we were joined by our favourite doctor since Harold Shipman, the wonderful Kath Walker, man bun baiter and expert on all things sports injury related. It is Jackanory time with the first reading of our children's book Stefan Goes to the Running Show, we keep our fingers crossed to see if we win anything at the Fourth Worst Podcast on Running Awards, hear from Colin Jackson, play Name That T...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. Somehow we are back from the darkest reaches of the north, smelling like knock-off jaeger and nan's old chair. We look back in anger at 2024, when Baz was guilty of partaking in the posh PE, John refused to wear period pants, Rach tripped over thin air, I left without saying goodbye and Lew had a very long wee. We talk kissing men with OBEs (under the radar), the most drunk man at midnight mass, a potential dog...
1Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. To tide you over until John is out on day release here is the Fact Hunt compilation so far. More red cards than a 1970s Leeds game and more jokes than Miranda's whole career. Adele in, Wenger out for the Fact Hunt fun bus japes.
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. Ho-Ho-Ho! And that is just John’s last three Dorises. Welcome to this, our festive offering. Now you may be saying, but D-Dog it is still only mid November. Well, there have been mince pies and tins of celebrations on the shelves of Tescos for 2 months already, and the BBC have announced their tortuous line up including surprise-surprise, more Mrs Browns racist Boys, and Miranda is back to som...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. We are back for episode 9, and are about to send a strongly worded email to England Athletics and the Beachy Head Marathon organisers (dictated but not read) before Lew goes against protocol and questions the Fact Hunt facts, marathons are back on the shelves and November Rain is declared a tune by Mr Kennedy. We rattle the charity tin with Mike EU Marathons Harley and empty chair John for the way home from a d...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. The fun and games return with former international rugby referee Nigel Owens replacing Junglist musician General Levy (no one has ever said that before) for the drinking game, Lew loses his shit at the Casualty theme tune via Endel, a dubious world record at Chicago, and a sad end to the Camille Wikipedia story. We give 5 star influencer shoe reviewers a good shoeing, we drown a few in their free ice baths, and...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. After f*cking a wide necked bottle filled with ravioli (scientifically the most f*ckable pasta) we feel guilty about not following our "don't be shit" mantra and start to build up the progressive junk miles for Beachy Head marathon and the Kent 50. General Levy and Tefan Tromboni return, John burns the candle out of all three ends in Barcelona, a lazy dog gets carried down a mountain, a fat cat walks for likes,...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. This week Eilish McColgan joins for a heel kick and double thumbs combo as Stefan Tromboni pipes us into episode 6, in which we talk too much London marathon TV coverage, race shoes, spray on shoes, shoe subscriptions, and Cape Town marathon giving vouchers for shoes to try to become a major. We learn about Lew's deep deep love for Clare Balding, and John's hatred for clanky cups and cheating sticks on th...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. It is the musical episode, pop pickers. Now then, now then, we have the old and the new of the music world with us - we have Tony Blackburn, East 17's John Hendy, General Levy, Kanye East, Terry Giant Cock and Balls Rosoman, and The Run Chat Hour with their Eurovision entry Evening Bill. Sadly no Chesney Hawkes. I guess he isn't the one and only after all. We also learn that Lewis is a shy pooper, Baz recorded ...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. And we are somehow back for a bit of a running related gripe, on Amazon, Apple, and Spotify - so John is on the same platform as Fawking Adele. We have Lewis' trench foot, bleeding nipples and projectile vomited flat coke. John's knitting injury, the doctor told him to give up his hobby, Baz getting back on it, and we learn the term "degloved" from special guest and northern medical professional Rachel "who lef...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. If you want an analogy then this episode is a bit of a mixed bag and, much like Adele, is not to everyone's liking. We will cover a range of topics from activity tracking technology and StravaWankers, dry robes, role models and poor purchase decisions, to the cheats finding themselves subject to a marathon investigation by Messrs. Tavener and Murphy. John had been drinking all day and gets a bit rowdy. He had t...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. It had all the ingredients needed to help motivate JK, Lewis and Crazy Baz Taylor on their Leeds Liverpool Canal ultra; namely me putting on my meditation tape voice, and a cast of a very unlikely pantomime including: International Running Coach Baz TavenerSir Geoff HurstGary RobbinsRachelDonald TrumpThe LadiesBoris JohnsonKeith "one for the ladies" MillerMr MotivatorSean Conwayand many many more We have mentio...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. The totally unexpected second episode, a surprise to everyone involved, and we discuss the disappointing London Marathon ballot process, run streaks and their detrimental effect on your health, the evolution of our running kit, Barry Chuckle not returning my calls, running memories, and Mr Tavener's Grindr profile. We have a second question from One for the Ladies Keith Miller, accompanied by Kyla on the washbo...
Oi, bellend, if you liked the pod give us a rating, a review, send us some love. In this, the pilot episode, with a strong feeling that it would also be the last, the boys talk about why they took up running, their first race, their last race to show how far they've come in the last 12 years, their best or favourite race and their least favourite shit kicker of a race. We have questions from the legend that is Keith Miller, accompanied by Kyla on the spoons, advice from Gary Robbins, ...
