Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 778 ratings
  • A beacon in dark times.

    Okay, the title might be a bit much. But I do like that it seems to irritate some people that Queen Lilly Mae and the other behind the scenes crew are laughing. That’s like being angry at flowers… or a duvet.

  • Constructive criticism

    I feel the Simon and Blake fact up would be better….

    On a serious note though, when are you getting Simon bird and Blake Harrison on as guests?

    Just like the Buckley’s podcast, it’s a load of rubbish, only this time there are two idiots. Highly recommended, 5 stars!

  • Utter drivel

    James spent the first fifteen minutes moaning about not being able to have a drink because he’s driving, then it was just pointless and aimless pathetic drivel.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joe Thomas Made Me Miss My Train
Q: Where does the phrase killing someone in cold blood come from?
It originates from the idea that the act is premeditated and methodical, not a hot-blooded crime of passion, which historically carried a harsher judgment; the hosts walk through linguistic and legal reasoning to explain the distinction.
Can you call Attenborough a C***?
Q: Is Lucozade medicinal and what flavor is the original red?
Lucozade originated as a health drink and was used for children who couldn't eat or drink. The original red Lucozade is characterized as a vaguely citrus flavor.
The Best A Bum Can Get?
Q: If you were cursed, so every time you saw a dog, it attacked you and tried to kill you, or every time you saw a bird, it attacked you and tried to kill you, which curse would you choose to have?
The hosts lean towards choosing the bird option for a better chance of avoidance.
P*rn Has Lost The Plot
Q: How do you know if someone has an inner monologue?
Some have a constant conversation in their head while others may experience it as silence.
Was Pluto Cancelled?
Q: What will be happening in 2026?
Joe and James explore scientific predictions and interesting breakthroughs expected in 2026, such as lab-grown organs, brain-to-brain communication, and potential discoveries of extraterrestrial life.
