Monkey Scribbling - Episode 9 - Highfliers by Peter Humphreys published on 2021-09-21T12:31:39Z Jeff (Rich) and Pat (Pete) begin Episode 9 of their 90s letter-writing podcast by reliving their past duals on the court, discussing how to convert their gardens into tennis courts, and immodestly speculating on where would be appropriate for statues of themselves to be built. Matters of legacy are further explored when Jeff challenges Pat on the origins of the French Open, a tournament Pat struggles to remember playing in. Also this time, an exclusive insight into John McEnroe’s little-remembered stint teaching English in a scary-sounding Hungarian town; Jeff’s drinking ends in ignominy outside the TSB in Didsbury before he’s helped home by Boris Becker, and a love of swearing in your 20s is practised and analysed. Musical snippets this time come from the evergreen Neil Young and his former collaborators Pearl Jam. Genre Comedy
