  • Bonkers… and gassy

    Covering a range of topics close to my heart, Greg and Dave always throw their own unique spin on 80’s TV classics. Funny and left of field, their observations are classic and yet so relatable. “Never in the field of human podcasts has so much gas been expelled by so few people, to so many listeners”. Love it, keep it up!
