• The National Beer Awards
    Oct 24 2024

    Paul is boycotting several radio stations because of a particular advert; Scott doesn’t have his scraper to remove ice from his car’s windscreen, but luckily he does have his driving licence

    Plus: what does it take to become an award-winning podcast? Will Paul ever find a cap that fits his head? And why is removing ear hair so much fun?

  • The impending Burger King
    Oct 10 2024

    Paul and Scott have just ordered a Burger King delivery from Just Eat and are aiming to have the podcast recorded before it arrives. Like supermarket shopping while hungry, this probably isn’t the ideal time to record a podcast, as all they can think about is food.

    Plus: Scott is planning vengeance on a seagull; pillows are turning yellow; and Paul hasn’t seen any Alfred Hitchcock films.

    Aug 29 2024

    Paul is happy to just eat meat at a barbecue; Scott isn’t happy unless potato salad is also there as an option

    Plus: will the cinema slowly die out? Could buying reduced price food from a supermarket be considered a hobby? And how do you avoid stray cats in Thailand?

  • Stevie Wonder listens to all the podcasts
    Aug 15 2024

    Scott is haunted by teenage memories of his mother constantly listening to the song ‘You’re Gorgeous’ by Babybird; Paul finds out something about his childhood that he probably would’ve preferred not to know at all

    Plus: how many versions of ourselves do we become throughout life? Why is Paul convinced he has someone else’s GCSE results? And is there a link between Scott being run over and someone trying to assassinate Donald Trump?

    May 23 2024

    Paul is turning passive aggressive to anyone who doesn’t say “thank you” when he holds a door open for them; Scott is hanging out in LA and Vegas and hoping to buy a hotdog at a baseball game

    Plus: hiccups…why?


    (Please note that while Scott has hiccups at the start of this episode, they go away within the first couple of minutes, and this particular episode is saved from being an absolute editing nightmare...)

    As always, Paul expects the worst from his next haematology appointment; Scott is at Heathrow Airport, ready to fly to America, but he's forgotten to do one very important thing…

    Plus: Scott’s eyesight has improved, but can it ever really match Paul’s? And when is the best time to call on Bob Marley?

    Paul can’t work out the connection between his chronic leukaemia and reigniting an interest in wrestling; Scott needs to stop living vicariously through other people on YouTube

    Plus: how do we combat Sunday anxiety? Why are accents so fascinating? And should we complain if the hand dryer in a pub toilet is blowing out cold air?

  • The ankle of the tree
    Mar 22 2024

    Paul thinks getting cosy of an evening might be better than a good night out these days; Scott is looking forward to Sunday when he can have a nice bubble bath and change the bed sheets

    Plus: can we recondition ourselves in the way we approach work? Are crowds of people more difficult to deal with since lockdown? And just where do ducks go at nighttime?
