Would you eat a sandwich from a corner shop?
We're back again with the man whose two biggest idols growing up were Ian Rush and Mr T: Steffan Evans, to talk about his father, John Bach, the man who snacks on raw onions but has never tried pasta and sauce.
In this episode, Steff tells us details about his relationship with John, like the fact that they were never a hugging family growing up, but that nowadays, they do hug, albeit after a bit of build up from a handshake. He also tells us how he keeps in dad touch, and the fact that his dad has 5 landlines but never seems to answer any of them. Plus, we learn about John's unique method of dealing with scam callers.
We also explore John's eating habits: farting after eating crab legs, his love for choc ices and salt 'n' shake crisps, and his refusal to eat any beans other than heinz. Steffan reminisces about the first time he smelt egg, a man who ran a tuck shop from his transit van, the time his father raffled off Steff's car, and threatened to saw up his bike to stop him from riding it (Steffwas 30 at the time). Plus, he tells us how his obsession with the A-team led him to go shopping wearing a Mr T mask, and to pop all the tyres on his dad's car.
Finally, Joe and Steff talk about the first time they met at a comedy gig attended by Rhod Gilbert, Steff shares the most inspirational life advice his dad ever gave him, Joe goes on a rant about politics, and Max tells the story of when his dad ordered some chocolate and received cat food instead.
