  • Good Fun, Easy Listen!

    This is a good laugh, the Inbetweeners connection is great, Joe seems like a real life Simon but James although still hilarious is so far from Jay, it’s weird!😂Lillie Mae is a sometimes funnier than you two, she’s a breath of fresh air!👌🏻

  • Makes me LOL in bed

    I look forward to listening when the new episodes are out. My hubby thinks I’ve gone mad when I smile or laugh out of the blue.

  • Utter B*llocks in the Best Way

    I listen to this when I’m working from home, it’s like having a couple of mates just chatting rubbish next to you but funny rubbish with some great facts thrown in. It’s all the banter you need.

  • Always buffering!

    I like this podcast, but since the video was added, it misbehaves (even though I don’t watch the video). If you try to skip ads it buffers, if you pause it starts again in a different place, or at the beginning! Drives me mad and puts me off listening.

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.
