You write you a big fan of MJ, aren't you? I'll see in the I'll see in the movie. Yeah, it's Space Jam. Space Jam, absolutely. Yeah. Big fan of him. I remember going to see Space Jam in the cinema and just I don't know what I was expecting, but it didn't live up to my expectations. I thought it was going to be a modern day Roger Rabbit. I suppose this is the best way to do the film. This is the best way to do it, isn't it? Anyway, it's final. Be faith to Matthew. We didn't have a lot of space for actual show on the show. No, we didn't. And that is the sort of thing you'd say on the actual show and then we'd sort of rush to a song. Mum's just text me. Oh yeah. Congratulations on completing seven years with the crazy team. team . Yes. I like the crazy team. Was it too late? Can we come back as the crazy team? We were the wacky boys for a brief period.

Yeah , but we should hear some we should hear some friends so many yeah we got so many messages from people that we've we're playing some on the pod as well . So we got some who have we got up first . Let's start with Chloe Petts. Chloe Pets . Hello Ed Gamble Matthew Crosby. I'm so, so sad to hear that you will be ending your show it is truly the best show to do on the press tour circuit that we as comedians have to do every year because usually what will happen is you'll go into like some dry radio interview and you'll say they'll say how did you get into comedy? Whereas you guys will say was the biggest pink you can think of and it's always so much more fun than conveying the actual information that you need to convey about the show that you are touring . You will be severely and sorely missed , but obviously I wish you all of the best in your continuing adventures . Thanks for , I'm going to say eight beautiful years . I don't know how many years it was. I love you, bye. Thank you, Chloe. Yeah, why not eight? Yeah, let's call it a sure. Why not? Baker's eight. If you're a baker's eight exactly. If you're a fan of Chloe, they're going to be doing the next flat share slam down at them and Phil Ellis. Fantastic. A very strong liner. That's very strong liner. Very excited about having them both on. So yeah, get tickets now . Tim Key? Tim Key Kee. Hi Ed, Hi Matt. Look, Tim Key it's a classic case of Saturday mornings will never be the same again . It's always enjoyed coming on . It never felt like I was coming on to promote something . It always felt like I was coming on and forgetting to promote it in the end . You'll always laugh, bloody decent laugh , always mildly cutting , but never too bad and always very supportive and very warm and you'll be miss ed unless you have other projects, you may well agree . A lot of the messages from comedians are we love coming on to promote stuff because it's just sort of not proper. Yeah , you're not a real show. Thanks for letting me promote my thing. It's never really moved the dial at all. the themes are . Also, I'd like to thank Tim for recording that next to a waterfall that's also an open road . What? Where did he recommend? I think when he came on the show , Agen was on the show, Agen's National when he talked about riding a bike up on the accidentally rode a lion bike, I think onto a dual carriage one . So that's what you're seeing there. Yeah.. In homage Sounded husky as well, didn't it? Very , very, very, very husky. Who have we got next? Quick one from Ivo. What do I not know what it is a Sunday morning without Matthew Crosby, Edd Gamieble, and producer Vin on RadioX . These are sad times. Good luck boys. Seems like that did end that ended way quicker than I thought it would. Yeah, that's right. But of course, if you do record a message, you do have one of the prefects that next to you. Make sure you're not recording any messages saying I'm having a horrible time here and please come and get me mum and dad . So yeah, they just I think that knows the prefect whipped the phone out of his hands like you're saying quite enough . Well, thank you I,vo that, was a lovely message. It was a lovely message. A lovely message and crucially he know he knows what day it's on. You know what day it's on? He know what they had done . Tinky knot know what they had done. Ivo know what they had done. Spoon Brady? Hello . Hello. Hey Matt and Ed . I'm really sorry your show's coming to an end . I was out till five AM last night dancing at a music festival , but I have so many happy memories of being on your show . It always seemed to like I was on it at the last minute or I would just get asked to go on when I was in the house , I don't know. It always seemed like a very casual affair. Nonetheless , I was always made to feel welcome. So thank you . Well, thank you, Fred. I mean, a lot of our do we need to be sending out packs of strepsiles to all of our regular . What's going on? They sound worse than they would on Sunday morning . But a lot of these recorded on like a sort of Friday afternoon . Also, I don't know how else we're supposed to communicate with you. We don't know when you're in your house . If I message and say, Would you like to come on the show? She covered while I'm in my house, how did he? That's the nature of text messaging. It always seemed like you messaged me when I was in my house. Let's do a quick ' quve gotote we another message from someone who's got maybe better addiction. Okay, here we go Toby Tarran Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby I was heartbroken and crest fallen to hear the news the other day that you are leaving radio X took it a little bit personally because I was on your show and then a week later you said, well I can't do this anymore. Try not to take it as a personal affront , but just want to say that a few years ago when you started here at Radio X, I heard incompetent useless radio presenters. And then over the following years, well it didn't really improve at times fair. I think the show went backwards, but I sort of learned to love you and you were an important part of my Sunday mornings. And now there's an Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby shaped hole in my life and I'm going to miss it. So best of luck with whatever the hell you're doing next. Ed, I know you've been struggling for work recently and whoever tide two men or women who have to fill my hole next . Come on, Toby, be realistic. Be realistic. It's not really too people . Be realistic , Tobes. Yeah, we're going to miss you Toby as well. Lovely messages. Crucially he knows how to record audio. And yeah, that is we had you on the show and we decided it's time to go because we knew we would never achieve the level of broadcasting that you do, Toby. He's just really good . He's really good. He's really, really good. You can tell why he's been, you know, he's been at the Coldface for so long because he's really talented a guy. And we're not so we're stopping. No. Anyway, here's the show. Hope you enjoy it and there'll be more funny messages on the other side. Plus we're all going to have a big cry. Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby B that's it . After three hundred and sixty two shows the Ed Gambler and Matthew Crosby show is coming to an end. Personally, we never thought it would last longer than three hundred and sixty one shows, but here we are . From episode one, a Zorb full of blood through to episode fifty eight Wally Winker , episode sixty four, I wouldn't be surprised if Badoobies on TikTok and episode three hundred forty five Warm Egg These two gown perverts have given six out of ten effort maximum. From biggest pigs, scoops for Daddy and the World Cup of fruit, no matter what we've done, youth s have insisted on listening. Hired in twenty nineteen as a deliberate ploy by radio extra shed listeners for tax reasons, we thought we'd get better. We haven't, but we're also proud to be standard bearers for the limits of the male brain . But you don't need to hear this all from me. We have a few messages from friends of the show. Oh , here's Jerry Cinnamon. Oh, okay. There's Jerry Cinnamon here. I'm very sorry that heard the matt leaving the station a show's going . I got a lot of memories memories from the show even though I bloat radio wakes on Twitter that time, which is true and nobody knows why . Especially I really got my hit song carrots for tea off the groom. Oh yeah. I and as you all know, it went to number one in Glasgow. And so we do a quick burst of it now then let it stay Let's have a look at the pan Oops for team Let's move a food side. That's Deep number one ? Hey , and let's hear from let's hear from one of my favorite gays. Know my personal chef, it's chef Brian . Hello everybody, it's Am y Chef Brian . Mama Azutal os. It's great to be here back on the radio where I belong. You know my god, I'm so sad about this show finishing I haven't been this sad since I woke up after a heavy night on the absent next to Salt Bay Okay, thank you chef Brian. Let's hear from DJ Ed. Oh, oh great. Hello lads. It's your old pal DJ Ed here seven years hey . As someone who has been broadcasting for fifty eight years, that doesn't seem like a lot. You know, I once interviewed Gandh i. But seriously, good luck with whatever you're doing tune in later and I'll be talking to a scientist about why we should all be drinking more butter . Also what are crocs and why are people wearing them? Little clue , they aren't crocodiles . Thanks, DJ Ed . Now let's hear, and we've not heard from him for a while, the naughtiest boy in radio. Oh no. Oh here he is. Bartleby Scrib. Oh no. Hello everybody. It's me B,artleby Scrib , the naughtiest boy in town. Sorry, I haven't been listening anymore. I'm into the Joe Rogan podcast. Hi . Thanks, Batalby, and thank you everyone. That really brings a tear to my eye, but today is not a day for sadness. Today is the day for us to finally do a good show and prove once and for all that we can do radio . So let's get it started. This is Ocean Color Seem. No . All right, Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby. Hello, everybody. It's Ed Gamble and it's Matthew Crosby and this is our final ever ever show. For the final time for the final time. Being nice and known you man. Yeah. This would be the last time we see each other of course. All three of us is last year we see each other. Well, yeah, I'll never see either of you again. It's the hell. Well, that's the rules, isn't it? If you've not checked your contract? I didn't realise that was we signed them in blood and mucus. Right, yeah, so I remember that bit. Yeah We're in the place isn't it? Yeah, the blood I had plenty of you because I was hot perhaps at the ages . It's just bit dehydrated . But yes, never gonna see you again. That's great. And never gonna see Bin again, I'm sad about it. Fair enough, fair enough, he's a nice guy. He is, he is a nice guy. How you doing, man? How you how are you? Are you feeling okay about it? Are you ? Yeah, I 'm obviously very sad. I think, you know, it's it's sad that it's coming to an end. It's been a big part of our lives for the last seven years . Seven years, yeah. Yeah. I am looking forward to also not doing it. Yeah. Yeah, having a little nap. Yes, absolutely. That would be nice. Yeah. But I think you can get on a Sunday morning when it's like six AM and you wake up and you go, I can go back to sleep. Yeah, I'd sleep for the rest of the day. Yeah. I probably won't though. What I'll probably do is I'll probably wake up around seven thirty and just give you a call if that's all right.. I'd love that Just to catch up. I'd love that. Should we do it here? Yeah . Should we meet in Leicester Square? Well, whoever's replacing us, we can just sit in the corner and we can catch up, right? That'd be really nice. Yeah, that'd be really nice. Because loads of bad stuff happens in your life and I love hearing about it. Oh, bad stuff's going to carry on your happening. Yeah, but I'll need updates. Okay, yeah. That's all right. I'll send you some voice notes. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Maybe I'll start a broadcast channel. Oh yeahbe. M thatay's what I should do. Maybe I should start an Instagram or WhatsApp broadcast channel. Yeah, and I could just say, Oh, this horrible thing happened to me. My kid was sick again. And it's the Kaiser Chiefs. I won't be able to play the Kaiser Chiefs, not allowed, but my shoulders still bad. Have I told you about my shoulders right here? You've still got frozen shoulders? Still got frozen shoulder, yeah. Talking of bad stuff. That's really bad. I still can't get my hand behind my back. What do you want to do with your hand behind your back? Well , you've got yours behind your back right now. It's nice to have the option, isn't it? Very nice to have the option. Actually, I didn't even realize I was doing that, but it's very relaxing. Yeah, it's very relaxing. Yeah, yeah. You feel like an old fashioned PC. As you know, I went and got an injection for it and then passed out You did, didn't you? I did. Yeah. So they injected you in your shoulder and you said, Oh, I thought you're I think I'm fine. I'm fine. I sat on the edge of the bed and then the next thing I knew I was on back lying on the bed with the French doctor Hovering over me with my legs in the air. Is it because it was the first time that someone had held a needle to your skin and they've not drawn a witch? You were like, This is very unusual . It's not not they've drawn it. Where's my wedge? The skull there's puking blood and snakes. That's a good idea. It's not a bad one. I actually don't have any puke ones yet. Do you have any puk ones? Yeah, that's probably one of the ones I'm missing. Well, I tell you what, would you like to get some tattoos of my kids? In the back of the car on the way to centerpart. Little Jerry Cinnamon and Little Nol Galligar's High Fighting Bird passing a basin to each other whilst puked into their laps? Yeah. Also because it's the final show you're going to reveal the real name of your children, aren't you? That's right. I am. The final link to the show, we've got Cindy B coming up to me. It's a very rude word and we're going to send it out my kids. That's an art show. We've got loads coming up though, haven't we? We've got loads of listener messages. Listen to messages we've got, I've been talking to some friends of the show . We've got oh we've got a quiz . We've got film review loads of fun stuff up ahead. Vin's on holiday so it's producer Harry . We got Will back funnily enough. No idea. Get out the website. We're broadcasting live We vent Vin is here. We've also asked we've made a compilation of all of our favorite songs that radio X have ever played and we're playing them all in order. So this is what is it, third favorite song? Second favorite song. It is, of course, same genes by the view here on RadioX for our show . Crunch and crumble Is radio X . The views, same jeans . Oh , how wonderful ? Oh , that's be going to that's the gonna last be time you ever hear that song, isn't it? It's gonna be the last time I hear all of these songs . If you think I'm listening to any of these songs ever again, you are sorely miserable. Well, I'm going to keep it X locked in at home as I did. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. I mean we're a regular texter to whoever comes here to takes this lot, I'm going to be texted in. I've got a big thing. I can tell you all about it. And I'm sure the AI will respond to that . So we've obviously for the first time ever people have said that they're sad the show's ending. Yeah, yeah. They think it's good. No one's seven years. All you need to do if you want compliments is, say you're finishing something and people you did not know existed will get in contact and say I love this thing. Such a strong argument for faking your own death. Yeah See at the back of the crematorium and just listening to people go what a good man. Yeah. But you can't man he was. You can't then be like, No, I'm alive . So it does have to end now, but yes, that's right. I think it was worth it for the love. We got so many lovely messages. We won't certainly won't read all of them out and we certainly won't read out the ones that are genuine compliments and quite personal because that's for you and us. Yeah, and thank you for all of those, but who cares about those? Yeah. What the ones where they're telling us how awful we are. That's the language of the show. Okay, in Essex has texted in this morning, can't believe it. What am I going to half listen to now when I need to fall asleep? That's exactly . You are a listener. Yeah. You absolutely get that you get the reading. Get it. Speaking of listeners, should we start the eulogies? Let's start the eulogies now. We've got two of the big hitters. Let's start with Chris Moyles. Oh my God. Oh, this will be lovely, I'm sure. Hi Alice. Hi John. Chris Miles and Dominic Burn here. Hi guys. Perhaps you're leaving us. Listen, all the best .

Nobody thought it would last this long. You didn't. We didn't. Your agent certainly didn't. No, but it was a hell of a run. So all the best. And enjoy having a lie in on a Sunday morning from me and Dominik Burn, who just called you love . Bye love . Oh, and one final thing Alice and John . Well , thank you so much to Chris and Dom for that. Nice to know they're worse than us. Yeah . The thing is this is good . We're kicking off big here because that is like we're getting out of prison and the big daddy has just said goodbye to us at the gates. Absolutely. Yeah. He's gonna say you know, I'm gonna really, really miss Bending your over the bunk. Yeah . Well, speaking of prison, do you want to hear from Johnny Vorgh? Of course . Hi Ed, hi Matthew. I'm radio ex hni vaughn. That unless I'm very much mistaken, is Dr. Sunday Tampleton. You're right there Gavin Woods, Professor Gavin Woods. He's here as well. Hello . And can I just say we are a little bit miffed about your party? I've enjoyed your show on Sunday. We all have we got absolutely right. Professor Gavin, you said recently in a treatise you wrote in, well a collection of essays for the University of Ontario that shows like that can have an incredible beneficial effect on people's brains. That's right as they face Sunday alone. Well, very similar to the use of avocado as a brunch meal. Yes, for many years, I've been waging on about the antioxidant effect. Yes. Thank you, doctor. What she's trying to say is we're going to really miss Crosby Steele's Gamble and Proctor. We're going to miss you very much both of you. You really light up Sunday morning and you make Danny Wallace look so good on his toes Oh no, that's not flattering . You've got to say, I mean we're often cruel to ourselves for broadcasting nonsense Come on come on Shony I didn't understand a word of that moment. I loved every second. Loved every second of it. Thank you for Crosby Steels, Gamer and Property. Just talking. Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby on radio X . Your show that's the back of the ser um. Stereophonics on radio X . They're leaving as well. Hey , yeah. It's actually the last time we'll be playing stereophonics on the station ever. No, no, just for this hour. Oh yes we're sorry again we'll learn about loads of trees later. It's a lovely song so many trees Yeah , so many trees. One of my favorite ever links was we didn't know what we were going to say and Vincer what are you going to do in the next link? And we will come up with stuff. And he said, there we go. Stereo phonics, a thousand trees. Now that's too many . Brilliant. Anyway, brilliant stuff. Brilliant. Edgar . Yeah, yeah, forgotten how to do it. Yeah. Doesn't it really matter? Heard of it now. Yeah, yeah, you'll never hear it again. Never hear from it. Yeah. I tell you what, you know, people are saying, You've not heard the last of us? You have you have this is the last of us in the world great show. Wonderful wonderful show too guys too scary. Too scary for me. I think we've the problem is if you listen Johnny Bourne once, this is what happens. Yeah, just by the way, someone someone messaged to say the suggest ion that Johnny has ever listened to the show made me spit out my coffee. Indy wrote that? Indy wrote that. Johnny has listened to this show complimentary to us earlier. Johnny loves radio. Johnny loves radio and this show. No, he,' nos interest ed in radio. Yeah. He's texted into the show to tell us how fit we are. Yeah. So he definitely has been lit. He's texted in on a Sunday morning. He offered to call in today actually . Instead of recording that note, he said, You want me to just phone in this may be a three hour show. That was my mistake Johnny. We simply don't have time. Now, Vin has suggested we do something here, which I don't want to do. Yes, and I'm not wild about it. No, I think it's a bad idea, but then he,y, that's never stopped us in the past. Finn, what's your bad idea? Well, since it's the final ever Ed Gambler and Matthew Crosby Show, I thought we should look back at the first ever Ed Gambler and Matthew Crosby Show. Seven years ago. Seven years ago, so this is just to get your thoughts on it, really.? No This is pretty much the first link that you ever did. Oh no , we're doing this now. We're going to have to do it . Because every single time I've tweeted about the show and I've added you into my tweets. Yes yes,. have People responded with, well , seeing as he's on love island, you know, he's very busy boy, isn't it? All of this kind of stuff. So yeah. So let's talk about it. Now you clear it up for the nation. You're not actually on love island. I'm not on love island and I don't even vaguely look like the person everyone says that I look like. You look identical to them. There is a vague about it. My wife and I were watching the show and she said, does Ed Gamble have that torso in real life? I was like, It's not Ed Gamble I did not have that torso in real life. I would describe myself as having little breasts. Little breasts. Yeah. Little pudding belly, little breasts. Little pudding belly and little breasts. Which also are our nicknames for this show as well. Well listen to Little Pudding Belly and Little Breasts on Radio Eggs Little Pudding Belly and Little Breasts on Radio Eggs Wow, that's actually all right. You know what? That was better than I thought it was me. Well, is it or is it bad but we still do links of that quality now? I think that's the interesting thing is it's the same . How is it possible to do a thing for seven years? And do it pretty regularly . You know, like I haven't got better at having sexual intercourse, but I don't do that regularly . So but how we've done this basically every single week? Consistency . People that's it. People often chirp on about how good consistency is. What they don't consider is that you start bad and stay bad. That is not good side of consistency. Before we get ahead of ourselves , that was the first link So I think actually it was maybe beginners luck or maybe really hard. It was a fluke. This link came a little bit later in that first ever show. We've been having some texts and tweets coming in from people about their stagu disasters. It's a tricky one. How do you spell doos? Ah, he's gone with a double O. Well, I mean, how's what you spell doos? Otherwise it's stagged. That's true that MS MS Doss. Exactly. I don't think it's Double O though is it? You've got a What is it apostropheo? This isn't what the text is about. Let's let's move on. I think we should drill down into this. Okay. All right, all right. It's a four minute link. Let's work this out. I was moving on for Finn. I assumed he'd start doing that the hands signal means moving on but no,, let's talk. Is that what that means. That's what it means. It doesn't mean just have a great time. So stag do's gone wrong. Stag DO APOSTHOPE Yes. Oh no , when I said that we should draw down into it, that was a comedic . Oh, I'm so sorry Vin. I took you at face value . Sorry, we took you at face value there, Vin because you're the producer of the show. Yeah, and we trust you. Yeah, okay. Didn't realize you were gonna start doing some comedy. Right. Well, I think that paints you in a worse light than us, Vinnie. It does. It's interestinging see it's very formative, isn't it? Well, yeah, I mean, it's it's seeing you sabotage the show from day one. From day one . This hey, this could have run for seven and a half years if it weren't for you . It's really interesting. It was interesting listening back to it and just thinking, wow, it's all my fault. It's all your fault. They say, You ruined this? You ruined this show? Kathy Revit's got in touch. Thank you, Kathy, and thank you for all your texts over the years. And this is a good point. Stagu Disasters is such a normal thing to talk about on the radio. I can't believe this is how he started. I know. I tell you what, that is one thing that we have that has changed. The textures have got weirder and much, much worse. Yes, right? So we started very very normal with our textures like, I think we know what's going where you partying tonight guys, that kind of stuff, you know We're partying on Sunday night. six by the way that's not open. Of course yeah, that's still open. Where are you partying tonight ? And then it moved through to light when have you got something in your eye? Have you seen Richard and Judy in America in the nineties? That's right. Was the worst thing you ever smelled? Yeah , that was a bad one. Yes or no ? Yes or no? It was quite a bad one. I think that was also Is Time Egg? Yeah. Remember that ? Is Time Egg was a low point? Yeah. I mean, we have many low points. Is it a low point? It's a single point. Is it a low point if it consistently happens? That's true, it's low points. Yeah . Oh, let's play the protein on the protease. Yes, please. Is it the proteas on the radio ? Little pudding belly and little breasts on radio eggs. Vin, you said you have something else to sabotage the show with today. By the way, quickly before you do that, Vin , we had a text in from Sh avorne who reminds us that yes, that was a normal texture in that first show stagged do disasters, but apparently later on in the show the texture that did change to how do you get baby or bell wax out of a carpet? So yeah , so very quickly became us. Sorry, Vin, carry on, mate. Well , I wanted to play you something. We won't do a lot of this because I think it's a bit self indulgent. People don't need to hear everyone. Have you heard the show so far? Yeah . Well, I think this is the limit but it has been a fantastic seven years. I wanted to play you my favorite bits from the past seven years. So here's just a short highlights montage of your best bits . Radio Eggs . Bathy's continued quest to baby reindeer himself by giving out as many details about exactly where he lives as possible. Absolutely unbelievable stuff. I listen to the podcast every week and I think why doesn't he just draw them a map ? Give over . Give over . If you want a kitchenette in your cabin? I am riding to Scottish Rail. He pops himself off to the casino, so I think we know he's not on the straight and narrow, very fun. He meets up with Brad Pitt from Mr. Mr. Smith and says listen, Brad, let's do a huge prank and let's do it on a casino . See, my mum was far more lax. Very liberal. I remember the girl on the checkout saying, This one does have explicit cont ent on it. My mom went, Oh, don't worry about that. She was all that I'm. Of course . This week I attended at the strong advice of my agent . You know, my arm wasn't twisted but hints were dropped that I should go with a few other comics in similar diastrits to a social media workshop I've read a book about this. Litz. Basically crystal meth, and they all work. That's why they could just do the worst most inhumane thing. I'm not accusing . I guess they weren't mother of any war crimes here, but you know . Do you misplace the car keys on a weekly basis? Because you have three GLAs ? Radio X . Ohllo just well we got the joke immediately that you were the second I heard Nishi's voice alone. I don't know what this is. Yeah, it's just everyone, everyone who's not us. Yeah . But fern at the end. So good. That was fur not. It wasn't John Simpson. I know it's very similar. Hello, a fans of play cameras for tea. Oh, yeah, we've had some good people, haven't we? I tell you what, we've been rubbish, but the guests have been amazing. Guests have been fantastic. So many wonderful stories. Thank you. So Vinny was I mean, I've got it here on the list of things coming up on the show. That was Vin's highlights package, really. , all the best bits. Yeah . Got any got any best bits with us in it. radio x . When you're a maintenance engineer in a beverage manufacturing plant, you keep production lines moving and quality on track because there's no room for slowdowns. With Granger's vast selection of high quality motors, sensors, belts, and hard to find parts, you can get what you need fast and all in one place , so nothing gets in the way of getting the job done. Call one eight hundred granger, click ranger dot com or just stop by . Granger for the ones who get it done . Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby . The final time I'm waking up in the morning on a sunny day looking out beautiful spring weather . Oh what track could I possibly play for the final Lever Metal alarm? Something classic perhaps we've played before, one of Matthew's favourites? Or do I dig deep and showcase another new band . Well, I can't believe I've never found these guys before. I'm not allowed to say the name of the band Classic . Demon F ON but I can't say the name of the song. So Matthew , for the final time, I hope this gives you more appreciation of heavy music . This is the song Bible Squirts. Not on a Sunday How you feeling about that? Now seven years I've been playing you stuff like that. Do you know you now feel a bit more sort of inured to it? You seem like you're not reacting awfully to that? Can I shock you? I hated that . Not into Bible squirt? No, I don't think I'm gonna be bothering any Bible squirt concerts anytime soon. No, Demon F is the name of the band. Oh, the song's called Bible Squirts. I don't want to be will not be enjoying Bible squirts at a Demon F con sole. Okay , any time soon. That was horrible. You should be ashamed of yourself. This is David Bowie. Coutin cowboy and the Raisin Radio X. Every week you have a big thing. Every week and it gets bigger and bigger. And it gets well, this is the final big thing. So this should be the biggest thing. It should be the biggest. Are you ready Vin with the sound effects? I think so . Matthews big thing . Hello everybody. Oh , okay . We've said hello at the beginning of the show, been on nearly an hour. Yeah, but I'm sort of framing it as a little formatted being in its own right. Sure, well I did that with Sat Matthew's big thing and then you did it continued. Hello, Matthew. Hello, you? Yes. This is my big . Anyway, there was the street party this week. Yes, the street party in your local area where, of course, there was the selfie station last year. Yes. And I'll say the oldest man thing of all time, a selfie station. The first year we did it, I built a selfie station . It's fallen apart. I have to chuck it away. I have to take it down the dump. So all I do at the Squit Street Party now is I run the kids disco. Yeah, that's right. Because of course, as you know , currently not for much longer, I'm a professionals DJ. Yeah . So I play I play music for the kids. This is the last also your last year running the kids DJ. Well, the guy who organized it said, How's it going at radio X? Yeah, I said, Well, tomorrow's our last show. Yeah. And I saw a little flicker go across his eyes well, we got to get somebody else . And I guarantee I'm going to show up. I'm going to show up at the sweet party next year and Moyles is going to be doing Moyles is going to be doing his Indy Rock Kids Disco. Yeah. And it's going to be great. Oh God, that sounds brilliant. It's going to go off. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, basically the way the street party, the way the kids disco works is that I play a load of songs and we play games sort of like musical statues or who can do the craziest dancing and I hand out sweets and you wear that every year, don't you? I'm such a good dancer. As I say, I say kids you st,op for a second. Daddy's gonna take you. Whatever. So I give them out sweet. And then anyway, there's a bit of a hub going around amongst some of the parents and some of the kids that my daughter, little Jerry Sinnamon, has said, well, the DJ's my dad , so I get more sweets , right? This is and this gets reported back to me wonderful while the disc goes going on. And I think I've got to put pay to this, but I'm obviously not going to stop the music. We're still playing Steve Lava Chicken and Golden from Kop Dem pon Hunters and and Baby Shark all the big hits. I'm still playing that but over the top of it I'm doing my, you know, normal saying okay guys now it's time for who can do the craziest dunno You do DJ I do a kind of DJ Ed you hate DJ Ed. I like DJ Matthew though the kids like DJ Matthew? Yeah, they love it. Yeah, yeah. So I sort of I try to do this in the most fun way possible , right? And I say I say that phrase I think wouldn't be out of place on this show . So I say, listen, okay, there's no there's going to be no favoritism here just because some of my family members are here dancing. As far as I'm concerned, everybody who lives on this road is family , right? That is that road that really buys people up to say yeah yeah people yeah because we are all family No you're not. Yes we are we all there's a community spirit on our road There is n't me a picture of the street party . It s'ads thedest thing I've ever seen in my life. They're really there. That was before people showed up and the people did eventually show up a little bit later. It was raining. It was quite rainy yesterday, it was quite rainy. And so I said, We're all family here . That's to say . Blood is thicker than water , but you know what's thicker than blood road . What? Exactly. That was the reaction that was the reaction. I thought that was going to make people absolutely go off. Well, it doesn't make any sense . Matthew. I haven't gotten better for seven. Seven years. Seven years I've not got better. Blood is thicker than water, but you know what's thicker than blood? Road. Radio X , dead boy, and super ghost Got a hand of a set. I'm so listening to We gotta get that remix . It's the Jerry. It's a good remix . Oh, it's a good remix. Oh, Jerry's here. Thanks so much . I play my song. That was my Oh, you know what? That's phenomenal. How did you how did you manage to sing such a long note with all the vaping you do? I take a really big breath. That's the secret. I hoff it right in and then I let it blur out . That was that's amazing. So Jerry, listen, it's great to have you on the show. How are you feeling about of course crunch and crumble coming to an end? Because we've been your staunchest supporters for the last seven years. Well, I wouldn't I wouldn't he be where I am today without crunch and crumbling Where exactly are you? I'm Scotland. I'm still Scotland. Okay, good. It's hard to tell from the accent. Oh boy. Without Crchit and Crumble, I don't know where I'd be. I certainly wouldn't be selling out all my big gigs. Yeah, you do sell out some absolutely enormous . Okay. Well, have you haven't by any chance composed this little song, have you just to say goodbye? I feel like you have. . Oh good. Tell us again what it's what it's called. Carrots? It's carrots. Oh no, it's not carrots for T twenty six, is it? No, no God. That's called Burger Man. Burger Burger Burger Man. Okay, so this is Burgerman. It's exclusive, okay? It's got a similar tune to carrot patio doesn't it? It's okay, this is Burger Man and this is a little tribute to your favorite radio show crunch and crumble. No, it's about a Burger Man. Oh, it's about a Burgerman. Oh, okay, fair enough, all right, let's hear it. Yeah . Here's that coming down the street I can hear him from far away .

Humaburger man burger man is happen ing right now. Give us your famous long notes Henge old and peculiar . Radio X . Love to hear from Jerry Sineman, but I said during that song, if you don't like this this, show . It must have been really tough for the people who really who are radio X fans are just all they want to do is just hear some good indie rock music and they have to listen to us twittering Helen Badger. Helen Badger, for example, Helen Badger. Welcome back to Sunday Badger. Hellen, we're doing it for you. Quickly before we carry on, I've got a couple of gifts for you. Oh, that is so kind. I haven't got you anything. That's fine. That's all right. Vin, this is this is from me and Matthew. Oh man , thank you. There we go. And tell the listeners what it is. It's heavy. It's heavy. Three kilos. Oh, are you joking? No . For real. For real . I'm actually emotional . It's a box of mangoes. It's a box of mangoes from Neilum in Walsamstone. What I would say is they are Pakistani mangoes. They're tesser. They're cases. They're honey, they're honey mangoes. Oh wow I'm gonna sniff the mango guys. Sniff the mango. Sniffing the mangoes is a live on air sniffing. Talk us through the mango I don't think I've ever been this happy in this room . It's near where I used to live. It's Neil Neelum in Wolfamsto that always have the whenever it's mango season huge piles of boxes they do great trade and yeah pop there they just had that delivery. I'm so pleased thank you both so much that has made doing this show worth it. I bought myself a box as well. Sweet, delicious, why not? Matthew, this is this is big news. I think this is you for the rest of your life now. No, what I would say is I've taken some guesses on some element of these , but yeah, is this okay, here we go, lovely lovely paper bag s. Lovely paper bag . Okay, so it looks like it looks like it's clothing 's clothing. It's a sweat shirt? No . It's not a sweatshirt. Well, it says here almost grown sweatshirts. Okay, it's not a sweatshirt. I guess it's a plastic bag. Oh no. Oh my god, you've got their big trousers. I'm going to do better. The big trousers and they are absolutely massive. They're ginormous, yeah. So I had to text your wife for your wife's size. Is she ? And then I went in to YMC. Yes. And I said, It's fun to stay there. Oh, that's the different place . Because I've got big trousers from there. Yes. And I said, Hello, I've come to buy my small friend some big trousers. Oh yes. And these were the ones they recommended to me. What I would say is they are women they are women's street. They're women's deadbeats because they are slightly cropped at the bottom because they didn't want them dragging on the floor. Yes, that's why they need. I think they are still going to drag on the floor my legs . Well, it depends how high you wear them on the waist. I think maybe during a song you should go and try them on and then we can have a look at them. Okay, fantastic. Yes, thank you so much. This is genuinely amazing. Most welcome. Welcome to the world of big trousers. I'm going to be wearing big trousers . I can't qu itite's windy outside. We'll never take off. What if I poppin' all the way back to Becking them? This is unbelievable, Ed, thank you, genuinely. Thank you so much. Of course. This it feels like a fitting a fitting end. Well, you know what? You changed my life seven years ago and you asked me to do a radio show. Yeah. And now you changed my life again when you brought me some big crash . Ched Gamble and Matthew Crosby on radio X Fire in the booth. This is Metal Education . Yes, it's the fine leather metal education. If you don't know what that is, I can't be bothered to explain it . This is from Kerry from Canada, of course. Oh , thank you so much. Kerry is one of our most committed listeners . He's done more work on this show than almost anybody else. Including us. Of course. Hi, Matthew and Vin, this is Kerry from Canada. For the final ever metal education, I thought I'd take you back to your first six weeks of broadcasting. Obviously it took a while for you to become the stellar trusted presenters you are now, so some of these might sound a little unprofessional. Either way, some of these really happened and some of them are made up for the final time, good luck in the podcast charts this week. Thank you, Karen, and good luck to you in the Canadian Charts this week. Number one in episode six with Matthew on Paternity Leave, Ivor Graham speculates that a record has been set for saying penis fly trap on the radio. Number one , penis fly trap . And are we just doing the answers now Vin? Let's get 'em now . I'm gonna say that's true It is true and we've got the clip of that, have we ? This has to be a record for saying penis flight travel . There we go. We've got clips for all of these true ways. Well, great. Okay, here we go. Number two in episode two , Matthew insists his impending fatherhood will bring out a new butcher side to him . I believe that to be true. It's false. Oh, that's just , but it has. It has. yeah He might've absolutely massive. Matthew's wearing his big trousers by the way, and a lot of people say they don't know what we talk about when we mean big trousers. We will post a photo on Instagram. I will post a photo on Instagram after this quiz. They are absolutely enormous. I think you look fantastic. Thank you very much. Number three, in episode five after a short debate about how Art Stuke Franz Ferdinand was gone . Ed doesn't know what's next. He throws to a flustered Matthew who says music before asking producer Trav? Is that true? I mean, come on, that feels true. It's true. It's true, yeah. Let's have a look at it. Was it a bomb? Or was he shot? What we got now, Matthew? I believe we have some music, is that right, Trav? Absolute hospital pass fromed me.. Yeah, I know I had no idea what was going on . Still , that could be from Los That could be from apart from Trav. Yeah, yeah. Number four. In episode four, Ed asks listeners to text in if they've seen a goose . Oh , that feels that feels real. That feels real. It's false. It's false unfortunately . But do text in if you've seen a goose. six on the text. That'll be through the global player or at radioact on Twitter. Number five, in episode three, Vin asks Ed if he's going to back announce hypersonic missiles with the word whoosh every time. Ed claims he'll find a new method for each occasion it's played That's true. That is true, Matthew, yes. Oh , it was Sam Fender. Everyone get in the shelters. There's some hypersonic missiles up above. Whoosh , whoosh, indeed. You gonna do that every time we play? Well , here's my question to you. How many times will we be playing hypersonic missiles by Sam Fender? Hopefully every day for the rest of my life. Right . Well, then I'll have to come up with a new way of announcing it every single time. There we go. There we go. It happened . Number six, this is the final question, Matthew. It's only a quick mental education today. In episode two sorry, Gareth and Indy have both seen gooses. I think gooses. We'll go with gooses. Yeah. In episode two between them, Edd Matti claimed they are making good radio on four separate occasions . Four separate occasions. Yeah. It feels like we say it five or six times, but yeah, I think that's tr ue. Yeah, you've guessed true for all of them, that one's false . So what a way to end. What a way to end? How many did you get? Well, I got fifty percent of it. Dan hasn't. Dan has not seen a goose just text in thanks. Thank you Dan. Thank you. Thank you very much, Dan.. Yeah Well, you know what, if I'd done well, it wouldn't be met . It wouldn't be met . Education. Bye Carrie, by forever. Radio X . Crops and Bobbers. We have some messages of condolence from some of our friends , friends at the show and indeed people who we've never even met before. So who have we got first? Well, since we just did Carrie from Canada's quiz, yeah . Should we hear from Carrie? Oh yeah, that'd be amazing. Hi Ed, M,atthew and Vin, happy radio lads. This is Carrie from Canada, albeit of a suspiciously British accent. Just to say thank you for such a fantastically silly seven years . There's nothing quite like your show, which I realise can be taken in more than one way. For instance, I've never listened to a live broadcast where a presenter forgets how words work, then mutters love her for no reason, nor where the same presenter reads out a text about punching a turtle's head. Haw tells a lengthy anecdote about how Flem forms at the back of his throat . Similarly, I've never listened to a show where the co host invents an entirely new genre by presenting from the floor, nor where a producer derails the entire output because bowling for the suit might have been played twice. Cheers for the penis flide traps and good luck in whichever charts you enter next . Oh, what a lovely voice. What a really lovely voice. Very gentle. Very, you know what? It is funny that most placement most of the most really bad things for you. Oh it's all me. It's all me . Honestly, there's no listen , let's not pretend. I've made way more mistakes on this show than anybody else I'd say I don' includte in V thatin, which is mad . Who else have we got messages from Thank you Carrie? Well speaking of lovely voices, oh yeah, we've got we've got a special message from the breathy lady Hello Ed, hello Matthew AKA Crunch and Crumble. It's the Breathy Lady here, AKA Gemma Bolt, the Radio X Voiceover. It's hard to believe that after seven long years it's your last show on RadioX, although I can't say or miss any of the ridiculous, unprofessional things you've made me say over the years . Finally, no more scoops for daddy, no more show fifty seven celebrations, no more World Cup of fruit. I mean, who picks a grape? At last, I'm free . What's that? They want me to say little pudding belly and little press on your eggs for stake Breathy lady Wash your breathy mouth out with soap water that was fantastic . Thank you so much, Bretty Lady. Thank you, Kerry. Thank you, Brethy Lady. We've got more. Still refusing to use her name, even though she said it. Listen, you can't rebrand this late in the show, can you? Breathy lady. Breathy lady, of course it is Bretty Lady. By the way, I was talking about Flem earlier on today's show. You were really one of my things. It's in your head. I love talking about Flem. I've got so much of it. Yeah. Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby. This is the radio X H aydo . Oh yes , muse on radio X. It's Ed Gamble. It's Randy Crow . You're gonna miss this a little bit. I miss. I'll really miss you just panicking after a song and not knowing what to say and saying, Oh yes . There was no panicking there. I love muse, man. What a band. Never gonna hear him again. Never gonna hear him again. It's a real shame, but this is our final show and we've got some lovely messages from our friends, friends of the show, scoops for daddy, many of them. I think the first one comes from Annie Magliano. Let's hear me. It's Annie Magliano here. I am so devastated to hear that the Matthew Crosby and Reese James show on Radio X is coming to an end . It has been on air . So it's really sad to hear that. The saddest thing of all is that my last text from Matthew Crosby says I do want to get you back on the show. I've got a young person question to ask you, but it can wait . And I guess that's never going to happen now. And Matthew is never gonna know where to buy kept from . Anyway, seriously, all the best. Good luck with the move over to GP News and see you soon bye, love you bye. It'd be very good on GPUs. Yeah, we'd be excellent. Yeah, right . What was the young person question that you had for Anya? I assume it was WhatsApp in the club, but SNL got in the way. Yeah, kids Whatsapping in the club. Yeah, we'll never know. We'll never know Anya's not in the club anymore because she's too busy beavering away at Tessale. Absolutely right. Well, thank you, Anya. We're going to miss you too never going to see her again . So if we got next, is it our friend Josh? It's our friend of the show, Josh William? Josh Wilkinson. Hello, Crunch and Crumpet. I'm going to miss you deeply. Obviously I'm a huge fan of the show and after just seven years you've decided to move on after you didn't get the move to S aturday that you were so desperate for . And I thought you deserved it, but there we go. Good luck. I'd say a lot of comedians will miss it as the simplest PR opportunity in the Biz . They need to do some promotion . Don't worry, they'll take you. They've already got six guests. Don't worry, they don't want to do anything themselves. They'll happily have you on. Who's on with me? Probably Annie and Magliana and Rob Walton. They seem to be on. It's going to be sad not to have you there obviously. I'm glad Vin's keeping his job. We won't hear from him now obviously, but good to know he'll be pressing play on foo fighters until the end of time. It will be sad to see you go. What will saysomed be Link without Peach and Melbourne? But that my friends is life. All must come to an end and this lovely opportunity for comedians has come to an end. I hope genuinely that you're okay because I think it's all downhill from here . Well, thanks, Josh. He's right. Thank you, Josh. That was lovely. Thank you, Josh. A little too close to the bone . Thanks very much, Josh. Never see him again. Of course we'll never see him . We'll never see him again. Who's our final message from for this section? We've got James Acaster here. Ah, it's been awkward. I've lost Ed's number, someone just having a phone direct him to the show. Hi E Jdames Agaster here. I'm quitting off menu mate . Just to let you know I quit I'm done. It's run its course pretty boring these days . So yeah, I'm out . And well, well I've got you guys . Matthew , absolutely on board. Let's start our new podcast together. Matt and Jamie's Dream Dinners. I'll see you then, mate. It's gonna be huge. Hi Vin c. Nice to give you a little shout out the end. Yeah, hive in. Some big news there. Yeah. That's a great . Well, I'll be back on radio X next week now. Right, yeah. You're going to have to cover the shortfall. But looking forward to Matt and Jamie's dream dinners. Yeah . Yeah, yeah, I mean, there's going to be a lot of mentions of Leadama. Yeah . I'll say one thing if we don't if we don't get an ad read from Leadama something's gone horribly horrible. Yeah, your dream dinner is whatever the guest has left over with Lead Amarontop. I just wait 'til the next day and we get some Lid on. Radio X Granger knows when you're a procurement manager for an office park, you're not managing one building. You're managing all of them .

Count on Granger for quality products, easy reordering and twenty four seven support. Call one eight hundred granger, click Granger. com or just stop by Granger for the ones who get it done . Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby . Well, it wouldn't be the last Ed Gamble Matthew Crosby show on radioacts without a little bit from our lads OSI. Absolutely those lovable boys.. We enjoy them We were the ones who brought them to radiox, of course. That's right. We said, You gotta check out this pair in that. Yeah. Absolutely wonderful. They actually wonder, isn't it? They were wonderful. And we gave them the name Oasis, of course, because they used to be called the Cheeky brothers. That's right. And we said Name yourself after that lovely fruit. Yes, that you're always drinking. That's what gives them all their energy. Yeah. Or they're mad for energy. Anyway, folks, we are, we're wrapping up the show. It's the final show here on Radio X for Crunch and Crumble. We've got some lovely messages from friends of the show. This one comes from our dear friend Mr Nish Kumah . So now the end is near and my name is Ni . Well, well , seven years of crunch and crumble , they said it couldn't happen . They said it shouldn't happen. A lot of people said is it happening ? It's happened seven years . Wow, I mean, good for those guys, I guess . I love you all. I love being a guest on the show. I love being a co host Ed was too drunk to broadcast called Matthew got trapped in that well . Then my brother and Krishna pour a couple of mangoes down the hatch for me today . I think it's a wonderful show thinking back to all the good times , the awful things you made the breathy lady say, little Jerry Sinnamon, Sam Fender recording that voice note, not really understanding what on earth is going on. All the more recent fun times Ed's appalling Scottish accent the borderlines on a hate crime. What do I not know what it is? I'd love to salute all of the people involved in the show. I'd love to salute the listeners, the thickest listeners on radio. What now for these paste eating church farters who now will lead them. Hard to say , but what I think we can all say is that tickets for my upcoming tour and re humour from a really nice guy. Right now at Niscommand. com uk but also, producer Vin , Crunch, Crumble. I love you forever . See you on the Visualized Companion Podcast in Heaven . Had to get a plug in because he is now his heart a capitalist. Yes, he is scary . He's obsessed with cash. He loves stuff and money. He loves stuff, stuff and money and he loves getting it from people much poorer than him. That's what he likes. He sent a PS actually. He sent a second. I just listened back to the audio and you can hear at one point that I actually walk into a shoebox that I'd forgotten I left out . Why? Because I'm a listener to this show. And what does that mean? It means I am thick . Once again, my best wishes to everyone involved. Vin , congratulations on putting up with these two guys for seven years while they figured out what a radio show was and they still never really learned how to do it. Okay bye have we got a penitential co host feed? That was a lot. That was a lot of content from Nish. Also people don't realize how small Nish is he walked into a shoebox. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's actually I heard from Amy, she threw out the shoe box. Yeah. This is terrible. These are hamsters the size of a hamster. So somebody could go through the local tip in Brickson to see if they can loc ate somewhere. You think you two are related? Was that me and Minish? Sure, you must be. Yeah, we look so similar . I believe we're related yet . We went to the we went to the same school . We looked ident ical. We're moving tiny, exactly It all adds up yeah, just call me Matthew Kumar. Okay, more guests coming up later . Quick one, here's Stevie Martin. Oh yeah. Hello, Ed and Matthew Crosby. Stevie Martin here. I've come on to promote various tours. If I'm honest, hasn't many helped sell many tickets, but thanks for having me on. I've heard that you're not doing it anymore and I'm not that asked, but my mum, Margie Martin, listens a lot. She's devastated . You've broken her heart . But I hope I hope you're happy . Well, sorry to hear that Margie Martin love you Margaret. Heartbroke, heartbroken. I don't think it's Margie. I got a message from Stevie after that said I've had a naught point five pint of cloudy cider I'm lightweight . You can definitely say there's something it's very loosely goosey from you . Very loosey goosey in that mess. Very cori. It's very cori er is what it is. It's very it's deeply corry. Well, well lots, of loft to margie, not so much love to Stevie , but do go and see her if she's coming to a town near you. That goes for both Margie or Stevie. Yeah, yeah. I love that. Margie, I believe she said. Margie, sorry Margie sorry, Margie. Yeah . Anyway, Please watch out on the show he's doing all his catchphrases. See the catchphrase? Anyway. Anyway, what's going up next mind? I'd like another cudge phrase. Is it not right now? Well, let's play some adverts and we'll see you after this. Okay, then Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby on Radio X . What are you talking about, Dan? It's not a weird energy today I'm Sam Fender and you're listening to radio X . Whoosh . There he is. There he is. I thought for a second there that was a brand new message, but it was not Bin. Yeah, that was not a brand new message. That was we've had since the beginning. But of course you have recorded a brand new message to Sam Fender. That was the thing that you were tasked for this week was to get a goodbye message from the Fenderbender himself. Yeah . So you know, yeah, I must have let me find it. Yeah, why don't you find it? I must have you must have I must have done it. Yeah, you must have done it because we asked you to do it and we know you've got loads of contacts with Sam Fender , so yeah. You want to make a music radiation now? Yeah. It'll be in here somewhere. Come on, let's hear it. It'll be one of these one of these you probably labeled it Sam Fender message. Yeah , click on click on that one. Oh, I think this probably labelled it main job. This is probably the one. This is probably it. All radio boys and been under the painteria. Seven years . What a ride, crackers in it . Best memory of that time a Kabab that I ate on a snowboarding holiday in Bansco, Bulgaria. I think it was in Bulgaria Yeah, it's just memory . perfectly know what? That's better than sound fan. To hear Andy the painter's voice. It's Heaven. That's true, heaven to me. That's wonderful. I wouldn't have expected that what that it' ssounded like, but I'm so pleased he does. That's exactly what I thought he'd sound. Yeah. He recorded that in the bath . You can hear that. You can really hear the ambiance , washing all the paint off him. I'm sorry I didn't get something . I did try. I didn't expect to you actually be able to get some obviously just blanks. Yeah . Yeah . I also tried to get Richard Madeley on the show. Talk about it America. nineteen ninety seven. Yeah. I'm still waiting for it. I got an initial positive response and then it's gone that's gone dead. Yes, I'm dead. Yeah. I tried to get Richard Madeley's son because he was on the holiday, the same holiday. The mad thing is, Richard Madeley's son, Sam Fender . It's the same pattern, though. They're initially positive and not answering my emails now. That's how it should have been with us when you first emailed us to say you want to do a radio show. Okay. I got a special message though. I've got a message from former producer Trav . Trav the horse? Trav the horse. The woodies big weekend. Coming for a point lad. Coming for a point lad. It was his wedding yesterday last night. Yes coming for a wedding. And actually the best the best woman she did a speech Alicia , it turns out it was he was out with her on coming for a pint lad that night. Oh , she told the story of coming from a pintland. Amazing. Great story. I mean, if listen to Chiquitos, they had loads of beers at Chiquitos. Yeah, we went through his wallet and there was seats in there because he couldn't remember where he'd been. He'd basically bought out an entire Chiquitos You can catch up on the podcast if none of this makes sense. It's a long way back to go. But Trave recorded the message. So do you want to hear from me? Yes, please. It's wedding day. Trave, it's your wedding day. Yes. But it's an even bigger day tomorrow tomorrow morning . Any messages ? I would say probably about time. . I mean, some people would say that he went downhill. Maybe sort it of's four months in when someone of note left. Now you've done it, listen, it's been a great innings and Lilliam Gallagher got back to me and he actually made my Twitter account , so who's gonna know maybe he did give that to me. Also if I ever see a pig , annoyingly I'm going to think of both of these two idiots and Binboy. I can't say that in front of him. Have the best show. You have made you've definitely made an impact on radio. Let's put it that way. Whether that is positive or not remains to be seen. Is that the sort of thing you're after? Yeah, that's perfect . Lovely, lovely to hear from Trav. Great What a treat to hear from travel. Congratulations . Well done Trav. Coming for a pint lad. Coming for a pint lad. Oh God, it really has been absolutely copies from Dan . Absolutely. Total nonsense. Do you have any more messages from any other friends and fans? This will very play some . He's gone. Do you reckon? Go on. It would be good if I pulled it over. Yeah, go on, here we go. Okay, well look, listen to this. Hey, it's Ed off of Last Lug here. Just want to say a massive thank you for featuring us on your show for a few weeks and for all the hate . We've sampled your alarm pull skip for our live intro and we're going to be using it for our intro track on our next album as well. Titled Absolutely Vile which we took from the incredible reviews for you gave us for our music. We'll see on the fourth of July when you play Norwiched much larger than the offic ial band of the Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby Show. Cheers the vast slug boys. You know what? Better than Fender. Yeah, better than Fender. Absolutely. That was brilliant. Yeah. This is so nice to hear from the vast slug guys. I still you know what? I still wear the t shirts they sent me I love them. They're great t shirts. Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby on radio X Do you remember the High Street Honey's won't remember . That was, of course, radio light here on Razor X One of the greatest moments of the show of all time when you back announce Raza is radio light and then swore . It was a good moment for everybody, wasn't it? Yeah, it was there been a few I'll mention the other ones on the podcast. I don't want to be in trouble, but there were two other moments that I've just seen Vin hang his head what's going on here definitely dropping a dropping a swear bomb after radio like that bad. There was a couple of other ones as well but they are for the podcast so get the podcast. There'll be lots more comedians messages'.ve We got so many comedians that we can't fit in the show. Yeah, but we've got a few more we can and a few more friends of the show. So both a comedian and a friend of the show. This is Kathy Rivat, I believe. Hello, I thought you'd like this. So I got recognised the other day and I thought I was being recognised as a comedian so I heard someone shouting Kathy reverted me and I turned round hang on crucial information I need to say I was wearing a hat with my full name written and it turned out that they didn't know me as a comedian, they just knew my name from listening to your show, which is humbling. But yeah, I'll miss this. Bye. Yeah, we'll miss you too. Kathy River, the sort of person who wears a hat with a full name on it. Absolutely astonishing. Absolutely bonkers. Love that. Why not? Yes, we'll miss, we'll miss you, Kathy. Who else have we got up next? Well, this is a very, very special message . I'm quite amazed that we got this something. This is Little Jerry Cinnamon. I'm wishing crunch and crumble a very happy last show. Goodbye from Little Jerry Cinnamon. Bye. Wow, wow, what a coup. A better link than we have ever delivered. So professional . So well spoken. Gorgeous tones as well. Such great tones. Oh, that's really sweet. That's really sweet, isn't it? Really? She didn't exist when we started this show. No, it's mad in it. You got two kids? I've got two kids now, yeah. And I'm in my third house and I've got a cat. I can tell you now. Three places I've lived while doing this. I know it's mad. Yeah. I've lived in two places, but I've managed to have two kids. Yeah. We recorded a message with Well, you get horny when you move. Such a horny thing. At the Chow Mein's out of the bar star that's your proper rod on. Anyway , we tried to record a message with my second kid little Noliger's Hardflying Bird. She wouldn't stop talking about her v agina. So we thought probably best not to broadcast a four year old chatting about them. Yeah, that's not the way we want to go out. Not the way we want to go. So we have Alex Horne instead. Yeah, why not? Hello, Ed, Matthew and Vin nie, it's me, Alex Horne. I just wanted to say thank you for having me as a guest on your show several times over the years. I never really knew what I was doing, why I was there or if I was being entertaining, or if you were being entertaining, but we had fun and I was always hung over. Thanks guys . Enjoy your Sundays . We'll miss you a bit. Well, thank you so much. Alex Ornne. Yeah, yeah, possibly our most one of certainly one of our most regular guests. Yeah, I know he dropped off towards the end. It'd be good to do the stats actually. Someone's got to do the stats. I think Rob Art's defoninitely up there. Orton might. Rob would come on three times per tour. That's true. Yeah. And also his tours were long . He would do a lot, you know . A lot of people want to see Rob Orton around the country and beyond. Ed Gamble and Back Feife and Gizzard radio eggs . Over the years we've been trying to get this guest on and they've always said no We've asked . We've asked many, many times would John Robbins come on the show and he's always said no , not bothered, no thank you, it's not really my sort of thing . But we've finally managed to convince him, no way. He's recorded us a lovely message here, very long message. Very long, very long, very long, John. He's taken full advantage of the fact he's back. He's allowed back on radio X. So let's have let's have a listen. Well, well, well, well, well , seven years, eh? Catch. Seven years of crunch and crumble and not one guest appearance from Johnny JR. Hm and then coincidence alert , you get cancelled by phenomenal public demand. Funny how things work out . Yep, no Johnny JR on the show . Not even to publicize Taskmaster or my best selling memoir Thirst twelve drinks that changed my life which Alan Davies is quoted as saying will help people . It's a shame really. It's a shame radiox doesn't want to help people , but I get it guys . I know how the system works . And that's why I had to get out of it. The pen pushers and the rule makers will always fight against the revolution. I knew I was never going to get on your show right from the start because I knew that they can't trust the man who puts the dark into strong bow dark fruits and the no into Arnold old clark . So farewell, I know the future's bright for you both. You've played the game like true company men . I'm sure you're going to see out your days with a suit cerning the big bucks , gamble as a sandwich consultant for Big Meal Deal , and Crosby, Filing the paperwork at the catfish farm, or working with disadvantaged bottlemen. Well, it's not the life for me . I'm just smoking a fag with some dilettes and rolling dice with the hobos and dreamers. Where will I be next ? Who knows? Maybe I'll be in Paris, maybe Rio . Maybe Maybe riding the ghost train to San Berdino . I will I have to be in Farrington for Ellis and John on Friday and I'm also recording How do you Cope on Monday and Tuesday we are doing some stuff for Patreon but Wed,nesday to Thursday ho can't say I've heard Cairo's nice this time of year. See you around buddies . See you around . Well, thank you John. Thank you, John more about you than it was about . No, I love that. And a big Beck Wreck John's book. It's absolutely sensation. I'm really enjoying it. Yeah, if you like a drink and a laugh, it's oh my god. It's like twelve best drinks. There's recipes . It's the twelve tastiest drinks. Absolutely. Yeah. He's gonna go on Sunday Brune just near to make a few of them for the for the hosts. He's the new cocktail guy on Sunday Brun. Cheers cheers guys . Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby.

As you know, over the course of the last seven years I have been reviewing the Twilight Saga movies. I didn't really want to watch the final movie because you loved it so much, you didn't want it to end. Yeah, which is very much how I feel about this show. Yeah , except for the bate not wanting to end . I'm loving it. And loving it. Opposite of how I feel about the show and actually when I came to when I came to watch the Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part II, I just, I couldn't do it . I just couldn't sit down and accept that 's in the past, but you have now watched it No. I didn't watch it . Instead I decided to do this Matthew Crosby Ed, Gamble Blowing out their seventh candle gown perfect sports desk, reef intro Coming for a pint trave, eighth floor posh lab.

Really laughing at Alex's message here. Don't cry because it's over. Be sad because it happens Docker since maybe . Thank you, Alex. Thank you very much. Right. We've got some more lovely missives coming in here Some beautiful tributes. Final by the way. Falin show, by the way, in case you haven't mentioned it, final show the Crunch and Crumble Fred and Matthew here. This is Reese James, I believe. Matthew, Ed been absolutely gutted to see the show disappear partly because it was really propping up my diary sort of once a month towards the end . I think it was a good show. I think it really hit form six or seven times. I don't know if you checked the forums, but they really lit up on these specific dates. I won't go into the detail, but there were a few episodes that really they said that's what the show should always have been from the start actually from twenty nineteen . I think where you went wrong with the show is that you had the radio show, you had the podcast of the radio show, but you never had the visualized companion podcast of the podcast and that's a shame because I know the perfect host . I look forward to tuning in to Matthew's new show on I don't know Rince FM with Andy the Painter and I look forward to sitting in for Matthew on that show a few times . I guess I'll leave you with one word . Lover . Thank you, Rhys . You know what, Andy, if you're up for it, I'm not up for it. It's so funny that Reese assumes he'll have to sit in for Andy. That Andy the painter will just get too busy. I've got to go and get some more deluxe . Should we hear from our dear friend Lucanders? Well , broadcasting is hardly a word I would associate you with heart. Touching the hearts and minds of the nation certainly is. Thank you for your service to the audio medium , really good stuff and you'll be missed. And by the way, it's Lulu, lots of love Thank you, Lulu. Thank you Lulu. Thank you Lulu. We also had this message in from Guillermo who says, I was sad that the show was almost over, but I remember that the best feature is still coming. Can't wait for Danny Wallace, well you're not going to have to wait very long, here he is. Crunch and crumble. Silly and bean bag . Dr. Crazy and Mrs. Susan Harrison MD , Ed and Met .

We're having a nice time here. We're having a lovely old time with stuff we absolutely can't say on the ass, so yeah. Right, yeah . Oh yes, of course it is . It's a little bit of scrill X to celebrate the final ever Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosby radio show on radio X. The final link? It's the final link. Goodbye. There'll be more on the podcast , including many, many more messages from comedians as well. Yeah. So many comedians wanted to send me a voice note. And final back racks on the podcast as well. Back racks. Yeah, I've got to think about those . Well , I think I'm going to recommend it off menu that's very good. That's very good. Yeah, thank you to everybody who's been listening. Let's hear a few more. Are we going to start with? Are we going to start with Stu. Let's hear Stu. This is Stuart Laws, Crunch, Crumble and the Vindominus Rex, it's Stuart Laws here and I got to say I'm so sad that you're going to the big pig farm upstate. I'm going to miss you so so much staring into the infinite void over here. I do need to check in. When you ask people, what's the biggest pig you can imagine? Why did you never ask and how's the pig feeling? Because it must be pretty stressful to be the size of Godzilla and people turning you into a hog roast or the size of the moon and stranded up there in space trying to catch your breath . Well ever Yes, fantastic. Thank you, Stu. The answer of course was two meters for the biggest pig that you can ever imagine. Yeah, we found out we asked the top scientists just. before And we go quickly say that catfish have gotten like their hearing is connected to their swim bladder. Is it great final cat? Something about that with their bones yeah. Yeah . Okay , this bit this is a big moment and this is based on what the whole show has been building up to. Sound fender? We're gonna sound fender. Sound fender gone we're not getting San Fender on imagine if I get an email tomorrow we can put it on the pod, right? You can take the pod down check it out, man. Yeah . You checked out seven years ago, you know , you gotta check in, mate . Right, Mick Chen . McCenned Are you ? Are you McCenny? Andrew Hindle's message in saying is Vin McCen or not? Of course I'm not McCenned. I'm not funny enough to be McCenny. That's true actually. Yeah, that's true. And thought of that. He is so up your street, though. That's why. His humor is your humor, but crucially you're not good enough to do his humor. Exactly right , but he has sent a message . Chen. Chen. Do you want to hear from Chen? Yes. I do. This is Mick Chen's dad, father Chen. I'm just recording his voice note to let you know that my dear Chen, my dear sweet Chen, he's very sick in bed at the moment hearing the news of your leaving. It's very poorly very poorly indeed. He's crying, he's snotting. He's coughing , he's farting. Hang on, what's this? I think he's trying to say something, but he's so he's so poorly it's only a whisper . One word thank you . This show's so weird, actually show. It's such a weird show. She has to end. It can't it can't carry on. If that's the sort of thing that we're doing, it's just not fair on people who like indie radio. Yeah next week we've ruined this. Please tell your friends who like indie radio with straightforward links that that is back on radio X. Okay that is back baby. Yeah. Oh boy. Well, this is it. This is our this is our final ever goodbye. And what a joy it's been. If we can be sentimental for just a moment, please we'd like to say please. We'd like to say you truly are some of the thickest listeners in radio. You really are. And we love it love it. We. We've had a fantastic time . We're still going to carry working together. Oh, yeah, we see each other all the time. I'm talking to me and Ed burgh . No , and yeah, I mean you've got a new show coming on the television, haven't you? Yeah, come on. We don't need to do plugs do we. Brand new show coming on the television . So do watch that. That should be very good. We're gonna keep our passes as well so we can use the toilets.

Vin, you're an incredible man , not a good producer for us . We know you are a good producer. Can be, but not for us. Yeah. That's fair. Thank you very much for giving up your Sundays for free.

Thank you Ed and Matthew, we don't do much sentimentality and sincerity on this show. No, but I hope you read all the messages. I'm going to keep sending all the messages that the listeners have been sending sending to us . You have meant a lot to a lot of people. I think especially doing shows over lockdown , I think people I was going to say it stopped them going crazy. People did go crazy. This show is crazy. This is a stupid show made it way worse I'd imagine. Yeah. But you were part of their lives. you should really feel very very proud. Happy to be a super spreader. It's been really nice doing something fun with my friends for seven years. Yeah, it's been really absolutely really, really fun. Here's the here to the next seven years.

He is a he's an amazing Welsh comedian who tells you what he drinks in a day and it's way it's dangerous what he drinks on holiday .

There's Richard Ragsy Reid. Yeah . And R Richichardard Richard Raggy Hughes. Retty Raggy Hughes that's sort of Mayor of Neath pops up now and again Mayor of Neith is there as well.

I was gonna do a double bill yesterday and go watch Hokham straight after I had to go and have a little walk around. It's amazing. The lead lead female performance, one of the best things I've ever seen. Can you tell us anything about it or is it all a spoiler? Just go and see it. I'd say just go and see it. It's about a wish. I'll say that much. Oh about, a wish . The Disyne movie wish. It's exactly right. It's literally it is affecting Credit Brilliant.

In a very embarrassing sentence, me and Stephen Ferdinando from the Danny Wallace show have started DJing together . Well, of course you didn't tell us this on air. Yeah. Why did you not mention this on air? Because we would have absolutely not embarrassed on it. And it's also good without him. Yeah. Good for him. Yeah. But on there on air we're not .

The memories of presenting with Matthew when Ed couldn't make it were amongst the happiest of my love and I think you guys are absolutely brilliant . I especially miss doing my features which I've always designed especially for Matthew things like Matthew Crosby or Matthew Crosby and asking people cross about certain things like people not putting their baskets back in the supermarket. Matthew Crosby or Matthew Cros by one I'm sure you remember well, Matthew about whether you gave if for example a friend forgot your birthday very revealing you very brave . I had pictures at McSly which bring Matthew Crosby or Matthew Cros by with questions about crows and blackbirds and ravens and they're always going to be Matthew Crosby or Math Me Crosbreak, which can be questions about you and me. So I'll never get to do them which is sad so a lot guys . To a bit nasty at the end there's such a quiet lady. Such a quiet lady, yeah. What is going? Yeah. Is there something going on, guys? Because there's not a new pandemic is there. I mean, we've started show at the right time because they haven't all got a Han to virus everybody would have been straight straight on the zoom again, something. Yeah, we can't be doing that. You haven't to broadcast over in your Disney Pyjamas with your Mostache. It was a funny time wasn't it funny old? It was a funny old time. I did enjoy driving into central London though. Oh, you did. I never stopped talking about it. I saw Tim Vincent. Saw Tim Vincent. When I drove in, I thought it was I thought it was I thought it was you. You remember I thought I saw you cycling and I thought, I'll knock him off just I still think about that . Genuinely I thought, Oh, that's Ed, I'll knock him off his bike with my car. That'll be funny. That was that it turned out not to be a but even if it had been you. Yeah. A bad thing to do. Yeah. It was Divin. It was Tim Vincent in the end. Of course, it's always Tim Vincent You saw a crane and thought . I thought,, oh imagine if I was like the air. See, we do remember some of it, but it's just stuff. It was a good it's a good show. Have we got any more messages? Ellis, of course. Oh, of course. Of course , Alice. Hello boys, Ell Jisames here. Iy've been ding for seven years over. Can't believe it. I've crunched, I've crumbled . Can't believe this is the end . When the stone roses Calder quits the second time round after their reunion about ten years ago , Ian Brown said Don't be sad it's over . Be glad it happened . I don't think that applies to you if I'm honest. I think a bigger question, a more pertinent question is for radio X top brass and it's not big that has happened. It's more how did we allow this to happen in the first place ? Mainly because of Matthew Crosby's extremely old fashioned references. He thinks that the hipman in Hearst and Pete Bottoman and McKay Strachen is a sensible thing to mention on Hip and Happening India Radio Station and Ed , when you actually get to know him , the only music he really likes is all called things. All the bands are called stuff like carcass and ghost vasectomy . Anyway , I asked Izzy my w,ife what she thought of the show and she presented on it a couple of times , both times with Matthew, but really she would have preferred to have presented with Ed. Well, thank you. It's nice to know that Ellis hasn't caught whatever Izzy has. No, no , he's still held enthusiasm. Yeah . It's because as a couple, we know this from knowing Ellis and Izzy very well, they never see each other. No, they're literally never in the same room at the same time. They're always offering to make children. They've done that twice. Yeah, and then that was it. That was it. And that was a girl . We forget that, don't we? They didn't know . It was very much like the Pina Colada song. Ellis was popping his little John Thomas through the glory turned out his wife was on the other side Write that down a bit . I'm going to beat one of the words. Okay . I'll beat different words. Yeah, okay sure . Sure . Well, I guess I guess this is it. Oh no, John Kearns. Oh my god how, can I forget it? John Kirk I can't forget the originator of what do you not know what it is? What do you not know what it is? The OG himself it's John Kearns. Hello Ed , hello Matthew . It's John Kearns here and I just like'd to thank you for the past seven years for the support that you 've shown me over my career . Not to be sniffed at seven years, that's a long time. That's like secondary school, you know? And you change a lot in that time. Crucially your show didn't change much, which is what people like on the radio you played the same four songs . That's impressive. Look, when I sat in for Ed all those years ago, just that once , I haven't been paid for that I created the feature which you still used what is it you don't know what it is? The title of the feature. I'm not entirely sure. But anyway, the point being is that I'd like to have the final one I don't know what a mirror is. I don't know what champagne is, I don't know really how a fridge works. I don't know much, but the one thing I don't know a Sunday morning without Ed and Matthew on radio X . That doesn't mean I listened. I just mean that you know, you're just not on the radio Aw, thank you, John. I would do that one as well. I would do that one as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great minds. Great minds . Thanks, John, though. Thanks. Really? Really, really lovely. Well, thanks to everybody who appeared on the show . Thanks to everyone who listened to the show. Obviously. Thanks to everyone who sent emails in. And thank you. We're going to, we're going to pour through those now. You're not a little read. Not on the podcast, because many of them are just straight up sentimental things. We can't be doing that. Can't be doing that, no, but thank you all. Thank you so much for being a listener these past seven years. And yeah, Wills Wills Do you have one memory, Matthew? No, I don't have any memories. No, I've got I've got what would be what would be my top Oh, I tell you what I tell you what I think about a lot and I think, oh, he's a funny bloke . I will talk about what kind of a darts player I would be, right ? And I said, I'd wear a stripey top . And I would wear it be called the CrossB ah. I'd be Matthew the Crosby Crosby. And you said, Yeah, but every time you threw a dart, you die. And I thought, What a funny man . What a funny man . That's good. I could remember some of the stuff. I know I mean, Cruise missile for me. Yeah . Yes, that's it, isn't it? That is it. Yeah . A cruise missile that was so smooth , a man threw up at the Imperial War Museum. Imperial War Museum. Yeah. Anyway, did I mean, that was about six years ago, so yeah. I actually found my favorite bit of the show. Oh yeah, pleats, it's very quick. Green day How was it? Yeah, you know what ? You know what? They show has to happen, doesn't it ? This is people who have worked for years and years and years. They've done like, you know, hospital radio, student radio. They've worked, you know, they actually know how and then we just waltz in and do that kind of bollocks. That wasn't week one. No. That was so late. We were talking probably about a month ago we did that. No one knew who was going to say who it was back announcing the songs. So you just do it at the same time and then carry it on for it just it's got to end. It simply has to end. She brought some food. What a what a joke hang on. Oh sorry, you're gonna No just what a joy it has been. Oh yeah, I will remember this time very, very fondly. Yeah, such a pleasure working with my dear friends. And that's how it feels. So it's just
