The Pick 3 Show

If you are a fan of cringe comedy, then today's episode is for you. The PickMaster General has challenged his/her panel to relive some of their most embarrassing moments and it is fair to say that there is no shortage of embarrassment on display. To be fair our loyal listeners also chipped in a few embarrassing stories to ensure that it was not just Martin, Gareth & Andy that had egg on their faces!Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X, Instagram & BlueSky or via our direct e mail link [email protected]

Having just about survived being stranded on a desert island (see EP 5), our intrepid panerl of 'experts' is going back but this time they will each select three celebrities to join them as they try to survive and ultimately escape. Martin takes on the task in a strategically logical manner, Gareth makes a potentially fundamental error, whilst Andy sets off for the craic and to cause some disruption. Anyone who listened to our earlier show will already be anticipating some chaos.Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X, Instagram & BlueSky, or via our direct e mail portal [email protected]

It seems obvious that the PickMaster General was in somewhat of a maudlin mood this week and, therefore, challenged his/her panel to reveal the top 3 movies that made them cry. Gareth is a confirmed movie weeper, Andy tears up to animated movies, whilst Martin rarely admits to feeling emotion let alone crying. However, today's podcast may well show our listeners a different side to the panel, particularly as to whether Martin has tear ducts?Join the debate via our social portals or by e mail [email protected] where gareth collates the correspondence from around the world.

We all like to believe that we are smart enough to avoid fads/trends that in hindsight look pretty stupid, but the sad reality is that nearly all of us fall for some of them. The PMG challenged the panel, plus special guest Ashley, to dig into their archives and own up to the times that they simply followed the crowd into some dubious fad.Let us have your own memories of fads you briefly followed via our social portals or by using our direct e mail account [email protected]

All of us watch TV, so popular shows compete for ways to retain viewers from season to season. The "cliffhanger" principle is regularly employed to ensure that viewers 'need to know' curiosity draws big numbers when a new season launches. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they debate the best tv cliffhangers from their own viewing experiences.Interact with the podcast via our social portals or via our direct e mail link [email protected]

The PickMaster general threw the panel a home fixture this week by asking for their top three choices of Premier League players (past and present) To counteract an obvious Liverpool bias on the panel (Gareth & Andy) and a limited football knowledge (Martin), the PMG drafted in an old friend of the show, Ashley Parks, to bring some balance. In an animated discussion the most surprising digression to Fantasy football occurred and led to a debate on the complicated rules of the MFL (Malone Fantasy League) and Ashley's experiences dealing with a ruthless opponent in Dolores Santiago Calatrava.....Let us have your opinions via our social portals on X, Instagram and BlueSky or via e mail [email protected] 

A little bonus episode focusing on listener feedback to the topic, top 3 times you were truly scared. A selection of stories from some of the Pick 3 listeners, and it is fair to say that there are a few belters in here.Let us have your opinions via our social portals on X, Instagram, BlueSky or via our dedicated e mail [email protected] love hearing from our listeners.

Everybody experiences fear differently and almost all of us have stories about times we were pretty unnerved. When the PMG sent down this topic the panel looked back at the times when we had experienced fear and today's episode relives some of those memories. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they face their fears.Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X, Instagram, BlueSky or send us your own opinions via our e mail [email protected]

This week things get a little more personal as the PickMaster General decided to quiz the panel on "Ambitions" that they still wanted to try and achieve. This caught Gareth in a more emotional and vulnerable mood than normal but, luckily for him, the Pick 3 panel is a close knit and supportive team who picked him up off the floor and wiped his tears away. Plenty of diversity in today's choices but also a topic that unnerved our normally vocal listener group.Interact with the podcast via our dedicated e mail account at [email protected] and let us have your thoughts on ambitions or topics that you would like to see us debate in a future episode.

After a pretty intense stretch of topics and debates, the PMG decided to give Andy's brain a break and suggest a discussion more in line with his skillset. Martin & Gareth enjoyed watching their "colleague" Andy, with less of a frown than normal, as he settled into one of his favourite entertainment genres.Let us have your comments and choices via our dedicated e mail account (monitored 24/7 by Gareth) at [email protected] Remember, there are no wrong choices but there are plenty of dodgy opinions!
