No one seems to remember Frame 32 happening at all and maybe it was a dream or just something scribbled down by one of the Mes to make it look like they could win a frame. But in response to Ronnie O'Sullivan attempting to steal our shtick by assuming two contrasting personalities (one who loves snooker and one who hates it and just wants the money) the Mes are back at the board to finally try and resolve which of them is best than the other one. Does Me2 have dozens of secret children that he needs to support with his snooker playing? And if so how does he intend to make money from his snooker playing? Is Me1 a supporter of the UK's freshest and most disgusting political party? Does it matter when and should we just let the snooker do the talking?

There's an odd atmosphere at the Shepherd's Bush (insert name of shape or dinosaur here) with half the team delighted at the demise of Mrs Thatcher and half of them in mourning. But what better way to settle which side of this argument is correct than by having one man play himself at snooker and let the winner decide. To be honest it's one of the duller podcasts (which is saying something in itself) but maybe that is fitting as we're sorting out a complicated issue on the snooker board this afternoon. And it is finally sorted out. By the end you will know who was right Mrs Thatcher or the IRA.

It's been a while, but we've dusted off the snooker board for a record breaking 30th podcast of a man playing himself at snooker and commentating on it (I think actually one frame might have been the record), but disaster hits the newly refurbished arena before recording even starts when a bit of cat litter grit gets caught in the wheel on the table leg and scratches the floor. Me1's wife will be furious. If she can get Me2's dick out of her mouth for a second. But the break has done the players good and they're in scintillating form in this thrilling contest: a frame with everything, including (at last) a feline pitch invasion. It's back to basics, stripped to its essence, the classic rivalry of two parts of the same man fighting for ascendancy at a game that neither of them are very good at, described by a man who doesn't really have the vocabulary to describe what's happening.

And even then it will continue, unobserved, unlistened to, even after I am dead, in another astral plane the sound of snooker balls clanking together will go on for infinity, like a roulette wheel that will never stop. It's back (almost) to basics for the show that jumped the shark even before it began. One man, pretending to be two men, playing against each other at snooker and another two men commentating on it whilst another man acts as referee, whilst another man flies through space in a prism prison plotting his revenge. It's the classic story and we've seen it a thousand times before in movies, TV and the theatre, but it bears repetition. The cats are back but they save their ball juggling antics for after the action is over, but still have an important part to play in the match and in what is surely Commentator 2's finest 180 seconds.

The televised game is so far behind that it still has two actual players, but the Me vs Me snooker franchise takes another leap forwards by introducing two kittens to the room. What atrocities will occur? It sounds like a situation designed for video. Which is why the whole thing has been recorded in audio only. The two Mes are back from holiday (though who got to go to the Maldives with their wife?) and itching to get the competition back on track. Or maybe just itching due to a cat allergy. Neither of them care about the feline interlopers, all they care about is the green rectangle with balls on it. And who has been having sex with whose wife. A bit. You know you've missed it.

But there is no one to stop this and if you want to stay in one of the dwindling band of people who have heard every second of this atrocity against humanity then you are forced to endure it.

We don't know what the future will bring, all we know is that today two players took to the green baize of the snooker board, perhaps with more than potting the pink in their mind.

Is this really going to go on forever? Some of these questions may be answered in the 19th episode of this turgid and odd podcast.Richard,Herring,Snooker,Me1,Versus,Me2,PodcastFrame 18: Shattered dreams, shattered glass. It's all kicking off at the Shepherd's Bush Trapezoid, broken glass litters the floor after this scintillating contest of sporting giants. But how did it get broken and did either of the Mes get hurt? Did one of them glass the other in a misguided attempt to gain an advantage in this crucial frame. Both players have raised the stakes, Me 1 is gambling his very marriage on this, whilst Me 2 is toying with the lives of his terminally ill young fans - something has to give. In a frame that includes some of the best shots of the tournament and almost certainly the worst, there's everything to play for. Or is it there's nothing to play for and this is all a pointless waste of time for us all.

But if so they have risen again, at least for now, and itching to get back to the snooker board to see if marriage has improved or destroyed Me1's game.

The result must remain secret for now and does not affect the podcast score in any case, but the players and commentators were tired and as a result this is an especially poor podcast, designed mainly to lose even more of the 20,000 listeners who began this Odyssey (less than 6000 brave souls listened to Frame 13).

If only Richard Herring could actually split himself into 6 different people then perhaps he'd have time to do all the things he needs to be done. Instead he is giving up his valuable time to this, the least important and worst thing he is involved in, for increasingly diminishing returns. But does that elevate it to true art? Or just make him a true arse.

But whilst we get to know the commentators a little bit better in this frame, it is surely the competency of Referee 2 which will be the talking point.

Commentator 2 has some harsh truths to speak about the whole enterprise, which perhaps shake the rest of the Me crew to their core, because it's one of the shoddiest games of snooker with the worst possible commentaries you can imagine. But there are some of your questions answered at the start and an earth shattering (and genuinely unscheduled) phone call at the end, so I think it's worth listening to. Some Me snooker records are smashed to pieces and some hubris dished out and whispers of match fixing are bound to follow. A carelessly placed box of Hitler Moustache DVDs might have swung the whole game whilst the players show their true petulant and self-satisfied selves. Might this particularly poor podcast spell the end for this Icarus-like project (both in its vaunting ambition and its inevitable folly) and why am I suddenly getting so eloquent now the bloody thing is over?

Commentator 2 has some harsh truths to speak about the whole enterprise, which perhaps shake the rest of the Me crew to their core, because it's one of the shoddiest games of snooker with the worst possible commentaries you can imagine. But there are some of your questions answered at the start and an earth shattering (and genuinely unscheduled) phone call at the end, so I think it's worth listening to. Some Me snooker records are smashed to pieces and some hubris dished out and whispers of match fixing are bound to follow. A carelessly placed box of Hitler Moustache DVDs might have swung the whole game whilst the players show their true petulant and self-satisfied selves. Might this particularly poor podcast spell the end for this Icarus-like project (both in its vaunting ambition and its inevitable folly) and why am I suddenly getting so eloquent now the bloody thing is over?

And after the disappointing post-prandial amateurism of Frame 3 there is some dazzling snooker on offer today. I only wish you could have seen it. It was breathtaking. But it was only seen by the various Mes, none of whom seem capable of putting into words what has just happened in front of their own shared eyes. If you have any questions or words of support or opposition for any of the Mes then please do email them in to herring1967@gmail.com. If you want to see Richard Herring on what could be his last tour before he is institutionalised then visit richardherring.com for details. This is really all it is. This is all it's going to be. I hope you will cling on tight. It's going to be a long and terrifying ride.http://www.comedy.co.uk/podcasts/richard_herring_snooker/frame4/Wed, 4 Jan 2012 18:15 GMTComedy.co.ukyesFrame 4: Me1 and Me2 have just been out for a gruelling six and three quarter mile run (they ran it in exactly the same time to the microsecond) and are now fit enough to tussle once again on the baizy board of snooker.

And though both are suffering post-Christmas illness, Dr Snooker Hall comes to their aid for a scintillating frame of snooker, showing both the most expert and amateur play yet. By now their different personalities and playing styles are beginning to shine through and their mutual resentment is growing, though both Mes seem to want to sort out their issues where it counts - on the green baize of the snooker board. One Me's fans will be ending the year cock-a-hoop, but the other Me's fans will be licking their wounds. Or the cock hoops of the opposing fans. Whatever they like. It's Christmas after all. And remember those of you who got a snooker table from Santa this year, a snooker table is for life, not just for Christmas. If you hone your skills in a quarter of a century you might be as adept at this game as Me1 and Me 2. Who will win? Do you care enough to waste 30 more minutes finding out? You know you do.

Me 1 has a lot to prove after his disappointing debut in Frame 1 but Me 2 is his usual confident and abrasive self and is sure he can hold him off. Meanwhile both the commentator and the referee Richard Herring's seem largely more comfortable with their roles and fans of Commentator 2 will be glad to hear that he makes an appearance. The ironing board is up against the light switch and Me 1 has been eating duty free Toblerone. Anything can happen, within very limited parameters and all that we can be certain of is that it's going to take a lot more frames before this starts to be funny again. But when it does it will have been worth the wasted hours and days.
