As we say farewell to the Mince, here's a reminder that @andydawson.bsky.social is part of an equally funny podcast. With @delaneyman.bsky.social, there's tons of episodes, so dive in.

Here's today's new episode which I think is as good a place as any to dive into it (link below should provide links to all major pod apps) (If you're a TFTM fan and would like to do a quick reply and list its strengths that would be lovely! 🥰) pod.link/1361056037/e...

What an honour. Interviewed for West Ham's matchday programme. Talked about coming from a mixed football family (and how the West Ham contingent eventually took over) ⚒️

I wrote about growing up in a council house, what iut used to mean and why they should build a load more of them asap

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I heard about this. I assume it's some sort of tribute to me from the lads at the NYT.

How To Help A Mate Who Is Struggling

Here’s a clue: don’t be a w***er about it.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Excellent stuff. My mate wants me to get one so we can go out together. But we are both 51 and quite large. I'm worried the bikes won't take the strain!😂

I am ribbing him a little bit. But mostly ribbing myself. Good luck to him.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I just want Andy Burnham to stop reminding me of myself. Because I’m a fucking idiot and fucking idiots have no place running the country.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I used to moan about how politicians were out of touch, posh and old. Now I’ve got one who is in touch, normal and youngish. And it’s creeping me out. Maybe I want a crusty old Tory back in charge. But not really.

“Hi lads! Remember Spike Island? Remember Euro 96? Remember when you could get leathered on Caffreys and Hooch, then still have enough change to get a cab home in time to watch the Prince Naseem fight?

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

The problem is, there’s a bloke who just took over the country who has started to make me think about it every day. There he is on my Instagram feed, in his fucking kitchen, with his fucking mug of tea.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

All of my friendships are built around the same stuff they were built around when I was 18, minus the booze and drugs. I am happy to live this way, but I am also aware of how cringeworthy it is. I try not to think about that too much.

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I don’t want to grow up because growing up is fucking boring. I want to be daft, optimistic and constantly entertained. I talk to my teenagers about music. I make them Spotify playlists. I lend them clothes. I bought them season tickets at West Ham.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Previous generations saw all that youthful folly as something they eventually needed to grow out of. But members of the Loaded Generation wear our arrested development as a flex.

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Andy Burnham is one of us. By ‘us’ I mean the Loaded Generation of boys and girls who came of age in the nineties, defined themselves by their pop cultural tastes and hedonistic proclivities, and never fully grew out of it. He went to a state school. He never gave up his season ticket.

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Burnham likes Oasis, adidas trainers and football. Not in the same way posh politicians pretend to like these things, either. He really is obsessed with Everton and pop music. Listen to his appearance on the Life Goals podcast from a few years back if you want the evidence.

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

He makes me feel a bit nauseous. I’ve been trying to work out why. I mean, his policies seem sound. He has managed to quickly get Reform on the run. Why do I feel so queasy? I know why. It’s because he’s a bit like me. Eurgh.

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Burnham is something else. He reminds me of a thrusting head teacher at an overperforming inner-city academy, driven by ambition and an overwhelming desire to show the kids that he is just like them. “Did you see the game last night? etc”

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I want to like him, I really do. I voted for a Labour government and was about the only person left in Britain who seemed to think Keir Starmer was an alright bloke. I mean, he came off as a bit boring, sure. But I quite like the idea of a boring leader.

110

Sam Delaney @delaneyman.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Andy Burnham is quite the busy bastard, isn’t he? Every day, a new announcement. Every day, a fresh t-shirt. Every day, a bunch of content designed to remind us that he's an ordinary guy, with ordinary feelings, ordinary interests and ordinary shoes.

The boy asked why I smoke. Told him it was none of his business, then thought better of it and told him it helps Daddy think. He said his teacher says smoking kills you. Told him his teacher should mind her own business too. Lit another one.

Howard's Way is back on. Told Deborah this is exactly the life we should be working towards. A boat. The south of France. A woman called Valerie, who understands me. Deborah said I get seasick on the Isle of Wight ferry. Put another Benson on and didn't dignify that with a response.
