So everybody, welcome to the probably the most impromptu
house cast we've ever had. It's a pity it's not a video
because I'm rubbing my head and Joe Martin's laughing on mute
Now to try and explain what's happened.
We recorded probably 5 or 6 four or five days ago, 5 or 6 days
ago, a podcast with the MD which worked really interesting about
the work that the the club is doing off season, what happened
last year and moving forward, which I'm sure you've all
listened to. After that recording, we
recorded another podcast which was all about the draw, the
Christmas draw of the lower house Cricket Club.
The legendary gets the winner, who's involved, etcetera,
etcetera. Really funny, some great
comments because of the people who who won and Joe Beneducci,
gas, Matt Stanley's contribution to that podcast and my inability
to establish who's who and who wins, which adds to the guess
the winner game. I don't know if anyone's already
realised with my pauses and my disappointing sounding voice,
but I failed to record that episode.
I accept blame sold down to me, albeit there was other people on
the call that maybe could have helped and and clearly didn't.
And I do not include John Martin in that.
So John Martin, please give me some some respite as to my my
failings in the last podcast. Hi, Joe.
How's it going? I'm all right.
Thanks, Jess. How are you?
Well, well I am slept for a few days because of this and.
There's there's always sort of technical difficulties, Jess,
so. When you're on.
When you're on, there's not. No, but even the even the best,
even like the best podcasts sometimes have issues with
recording. So it's just one of those, just
one of those things and I wouldn't worry about it.
You're so kind. You're so.
And you do such a great job Jazz anyway, so you know, you had
you've had one, one slip up in, you know, however many years
we've been doing this, so. I think you might find it's two,
yeah. I didn't.
I didn't know that, but I didn't want to mention it.
You didn't want to mention the Chris Scott episode?
Yeah, this was different. It was really a technical issue
because we were using for the listeners benefit.
Joe Martin very kindly subscribes to the Zoom account
and he pays for it all himself to get us the best professional
broadcast we can. And last week we had to do the
amateur one, which is 45 minutes.
He kept putting out and I and I failed to record the second one.
The Chris got one I forgot to press record so I have no real.
Excuse we, if you remember Jess, when we when, when we first
started doing these, we did them obviously during COVID.
Yeah. And it and it sort of didn't
occur to us that we should, that we should, that we should get
the full version of Zoom. So we're doing, we were doing,
you know, podcasts with like quite quite famous, quite famous
people, you know, like Ryan Harrell, cricket, international
cricketers and, you know, people that were, you know, have
achieved so much in the game. And we were we were saying after
40 minutes, right, can you log out and then log back in the
game, please, The next one? Yeah, they always did.
I know we. Were so pleased to be on
everyone. I mean, it is a long time ago.
We're probably looking at 5-6 years 5 1/2 years ago.
But they all did what great memories.
So so that Joe, I think that's a good segue into what Adam's
produced over the last month. So the listeners who who don't
jump on all the time and and maybe don't subscribe to it.
Adam Hope, who's just won an award for the the best website
Internet social media Internet Internet mogul of the of the
cricket world has set up as as plucked out 12 of what we feel
are the best. It could be small comments, it
could be two or three minutes. It could be 5 minutes of what's
happened in the last five years and that he's he's dropping them
into social media every every day.
I think Joe for the next 12 years.
Yeah, it's really good. I can't.
You've got listeners, you've got to listen to them.
We, you know, we do the recording and where and where
Phil, I get it, goes out to bat against James Anderson.
That's so funny. I've listened.
Honestly, Jess, I've listened to that so many times and it's
still, it still makes me laugh. You can't make me laugh an hour.
No, you can't help but laugh out loud when I walk in or wherever
where? I guess I won't spoil it for
everyone, but a very 10 seconds I'd gone deaf.
Or would that scare the face? Do you?
Know the one of the funny, one of the other funny comments in
it was he said, you know, I walked out and I've lost.
I felt like I've lost my hearing and then I took my guard.
Don't know why. Yeah, absolutely outstanding.
Please listen, listen to the 12 days of Christmas.
It really is good. So what we're going to do to
manage the the four par of not adding the recording we have
Esther, obviously everything is transparent and we will not,
there will not be redraws. People who've won will win and
will get the winnings. But Joe Martin came up with a
great idea that he didn't listen to that part of the podcast
because it never existed. He's not aware of any of the
winners, which, you know, I will trust implicitly that that is
the case, albeit as we record this, they are actually on the
website. But we trust Joe.
So I'm going to go through the numbers that were drawn and how
much that number has won and then describe who it is to Joe
Martin on his own. Guess it right?
Don't be a. Quitter, it's time to.
Play guess the winner. We've invited the rest of the
hosts, none are available. All right, get wonder where
you're going with that? Because of such a late yeah,
yeah, but. You know it's a great idea.
But Joe and I will try to replicate what they would have
said and how they would have said it individually.
I know it's going to be difficult, but we'll see what we
can do. Or even the person that's won
it, the person that's won it. Because the first prize Joe in
the November draw, so this is not the Christmas one, was £100
and it went to #26 it's. An early number Jazz isn't.
It it's his early number, so then you can take from that.
He's been in the draw a long time, right?
So you've got 2 further clues there.
Yeah, it's male. Correct.
Old. Well, yeah, a lot older than his
age actually is. Oh.
It comes down the club a lot. It used to come down loads and
loads, now it's only once every now and again.
Never played for us. All right, OK.
But a real stalwart and friendly lovely man.
Big mate of my brother Mark Simon or Driscoll, Jonathan
Helm. OK, so did they.
So did they work at Endsleigh? Yeah, they did.
They worked at Hensley with me. We were always in the bath
together. That's a great impression of
gas. Yes, yes, they did work at
Hensley. Right.
OK. I said that only on the premise
that I knew that Matt works, Endsley and all the others.
I moved it. Right, OK.
And they didn't play for the club.
No, didn't play for the club, right?
Top character listening range. He's a lovely, lovely man.
Not a Burnley native? Yeah, well, I know that's a
great point. His accent would suggest he's 27
different tones in it. I think there's some Welsh in
there. I think there's a bit of
Scottish. In fact, he supports Rangers and
you might not pick that up. I mean, right for the listeners,
we're obviously dwelling on this one quite a lot because we all
know him, that it's quite funny that the way Joe and I are doing
this, it might not be this long for some of the others, but he
really is worthwhile spending time on this land.
Crashed. I'm trying to think of some.
You tall? 5 foot 10 1/2.
Yeah, it's tall. Yeah, suppose he is.
Yeah, OK. Greying hair, you know, a little
bit receding. It's a really funny walk.
You know when he comes on he walks around the ground likes a
pint is. Related to anybody?
Well, I'm sure he is, and somewhere I don't think he was
just created, but no one we know really.
No one we know. All right, OK.
I mean, he's married to to a girl who's been down at the club
for years and years. It's a great, you know, they
come down you still. Come on.
Yeah, not as much as he used to. Right.
OK, I've got a name. Dave Gardner, is that right?
Dave Gardner. Well done, Joe.
You got there eventually. I always thought he was from
London. Well, he has all sorts of
accents in. Wait, is he is he actually from
Burnley or not? No, I don't think so.
We'll have people to dial in and no, no, there is some Scottish
there and I'm sure there's a bit of Welsh but well done, we
better move on. We didn't want it to go on for
hours and hours so the next So Dave won £100.
Well done Dave. Fantastic.
And it will all, all this money will be sent out this evening as
I've, I'm getting this stuff together to, to clear up what I
need to do. So Dave, £100 coming your way.
Second prize in the November draw was £80 and it was #105
every individual has been in the draw for it's a number a number
of years. I'm not really sure.
I think a junior played at the club and it's a female.
And. She wanted on the 24th of July.
All right. OK, Female.
OK. And it's not Judith.
Not Judith. Red.
No, she's one before. I'm not sure really you will
have. You probably might have met her
walking around the ground, etcetera.
What about if I give you the first name?
Yeah, please. Jenny.
Jenny, right. OK, I only know 1 Jenny at the
club. Jenny Monk, correct?
Oh, fantastic. Oh, she's really nice.
Really. Yeah, yeah.
Fantastic H fan coming your way, Jenny.
I will transfer that to you. Third prize in the November draw
is #7. Oh.
So again, I think using your intelligence skills, I mean your
intelligence background and training now you work for MI 6
is it's an early. Yeah, early, early adopter.
Early joint Yeah 20. 4. Yeah, one in Derby Googling Yeah
X. The first of.
September 2024. All right, OK.
She won, and so then you got another clue.
Right, OK, is last parent of the of someone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very much so. Really.
All right. Yeah, which I don't know you can
be very much so you're either a parent or not, but I think what
I'm meaning it's a long term player that's been at the club.
Oh, it's still playing. No, they're not, but she's still
his mum. Yeah, OK.
I don't. I don't know this one, Jess.
It's hard. This is hard.
This is hard without the others, is it not?
Think of the. Think of the women.
No, I think of all the Rugrats, all the original Rugrats.
All right, so we've got Beneducci, Matt Stanny.
Well, you're just doing the process of elimination.
Now you've got to I've. Got the idea in it, yes.
Well, yeah, but you do it in your mind.
Maureen Stansfield. I'll let's see if we can get
someone in to join in to see if they can give you a clue.
Mama, me and Joe, it's not to me all.
Right, but it's. One of my mates.
It's one of Job and the Dutchies mates.
Well, that's what Dutch just said here.
OK, can I have the first name please?
No chance? No.
This lady won in on the 1st of
September 24. Not Rain Man.
How am I supposed to remember that?
There's only about 7 Rugrats. OK, then I kind of list them.
The sun comes on watching a lot of the time and walks around
with a furry friend at Lisa's shouting at out Joe.
You should know I don't. Hear her.
She walks around with the dog. The dog.
The Sun. The sun.
Oh, the sun. Yeah.
Oh, sorry, I was. I was thinking of women.
Oh yeah, Marquis. Correct.
So well done, Cheryl. That one.
Like pulling teeth, Cheryl. Oh, so I needed to guess Matt
Marquis's mum. Yeah.
Oh, that wasn't clear, but I. Didn't give you Matt Marquis's
name, I just said. Anyway, well done Cheryl. 70 LB
coming your way right #50 No, no, sorry #144 as £150.
We spoke about him already this evening.
Oh, about the store got him already, Morehouse.
No. No, Adam.
Adam. Yes, that's it.
I don't know, 50 points. Oh.
Well done, Adam. Good job.
So that's. The continuous long tradition of
Jezza's relatives winning this. You'll say that on a dial in you
keep. So let's move on to the December
door draw quite quickly. I haven't even ammutee December.
These are 5 five 100 LB prizes. First prize #36 Again you'd have
to be Rain Man to know to one they joined in April this year.
Long, you know, long time supporters are coming down the
club to support the club. And it's worth mentioning that
that Louise, who is the first name of the of the winning party
has because they've read the website and know that they've
won before. You have e-mail, have e-mail
emailed me and said they want another number for their the
daughters Grace and Zara to join.

Well done. It's all right.
Well done. George, Johnny, Debbie
Edmondson. Genuinely.
Not looks well, no, no, no. I've got a name in my head for
some reason. Fantastic third prize #125 this
lad played for the club for a lot of years.
Good player, we haven't seen him down the club for a long time
which is a bit of a shame. We have talked about having a
podcast with him which you know we can pursue in 2026.
Good bat, loads of runs and wickets in the second team.
Played quite a lot in the first team as well.
Goodbye, bold, dibbly, Dobbly. I don't think you will have
played with him. That's a big what?
Are you playing in the 90s? Sorry, 2000.
Yeah, late, mid late 90s into two into 2000.
He's younger than me. I want to ask Gus Hazard a guess
of how old he actually is. I'm guessing he'd be 50 odd.
Now I've got one further clue which I'd like I'd like to to
give you if you're ready for it. Yeah, I'm.
Ready. Because his dad was an absolute
legend down at the club. Unfortunately, he left us far
too young is. It Chris Astin.
It is Chris Astin. Good luck Chris, well done, £100
for you coming to you before Christmas.
Thanks for everything and joining for so long that you
have do. You know, Chris and Phil were
always so kind to me. Yeah.
Phil. Phil used to take time out of
his day to when he was doing the ground to like throw balls at me
and stuff. And Chris is just nice in
general. Yeah, there's some great
memories around that in the from.
We could maybe, well, we've said it before, we could might kick
starters join to get in an episode.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, we should, absolutely.
Number four yeah. Position 4 #134 again an ex
player didn't play much. Him and his brother played,
played for us down the club. Real characters didn't play for
decades and decades, but both contribute.
Era. 2000s, early 2000s into 2010 I would guess.
It's my my only ever into 2000 and 10s.
No, well, don't. Don't quote me.
All right, my only my only frame of reference that, but he's
always Tommy, Tommy beef chick. That's it, you've got it.
But he's his brother, Jim. It's his.
Brother, I don't know. I don't know him.
Yes. So it's Jimmy Brill.
He used to come down with Tommy a lot and my next clue was going
to be they both got the same last name, but I didn't.
I wouldn't have to go down that route.
So Jimmy fantastic 100 LB coming your way, relatively new, new
member. So it's good to see you win And
the last prize for £100 is I always these are real old
members of the club and first names Jean and Jack.
They've won previously on on a few occasions.
That's it. Well done.
So you say you're not Rain Man, but you really are.
You remember. You remember some of.
These. Some of these names so.
So no, that's fantastic. Well done Jean, I will get that
to you #2100 LB. Well done.
So I think we managed that. It only took us half an hour.
So once again I apologise to everyone that the original
recording didn't get recorded, but I thought it were important
to get it out there before Christmas.
I'm sure Adam will all between you and Adam joke and sort out
editing this for completeness. It's 17th of December.
I'm really sorry. So let's see if we can get it
out over the next two days. And Adam has joined us on video.
I don't know if he's on audio, but he's on video.
He's walking around a supermarket.
Oh, he's just got it's Tesco's. Other other supermarkets are
available. Yeah, Yeah, a little is better I
think and depends on home delivery.
Only a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
Good luck. Thank you.
So I don't know if Adam's coming on to say anything, but we've
we've come to the end of the podcast.
Joe, let's get together over the next day to me and you.
I know you're not at work and let's line up a few a few
