Summary
Overview
Series 8 of Quickly Kevin returns with hosts Chris Scull, Josh Whittacombe, and Michael Mard discussing 90s football nostalgia, Uri Geller's outlandish claims, bizarre footballer anecdotes, and listener stories. The episode announces the new series format running through the Euros, with episodes dropping Mondays (Fridays for Patreon members) and features the return of classic segments like Strange Hills and the electronic postbag.
Uri Geller Claims Credit for Unblocking Suez Canal
The hosts discuss Uri Geller's recent claim that he used his mind powers to unblock the Suez Canal, drawing parallels to his infamous involvement in Euro 96 when he allegedly moved the ball before Gary McAllister's penalty. The conversation spirals into debate about whether Geller's Euro 96 helicopter stunt was real, with the hosts dissecting his CIA connections and past claims of stopping Big Ben twice.
- Uri Geller claimed to unblock the Suez Canal at 11:11am using collective mind power, though 14 tugboats and hours of dredging were involved
- Geller practiced the ball-moving trick with the CIA according to his own claims
- He received thousands of hate letters from Scotland after the Euro 96 incident and now calls it 'highly unethical'
- No helicopter was recorded in airspace over Wembley during the 1996 semi-final despite Geller's claims
" I was in the helicopter, so I didn't have all the information. I just knew Seaman had saved the penalty. I thought, he missed, so I probably did something. "
" Spoon botherer Uri Geller needs you at exactly 11:11 a.m. to use the power of your mind to get this bloody ship shifted. "
