This has been one of my favourite pods for several years. I look forward to it every week! Ed and James are fantastic hosts, and there’s always lots of laughs. Though, nothing will ever top the Claudia Winkleman episode. I’ve listened to it several times when I need a pick-me-up. ☺️
“I’ve never knowingly had water. I don’t like it. The whole thing is arrogant and smug.”
Still love James and Ed, keep going boys! I’d really like to see impressionist Josh Berry as a guest, his impression of James is brilliant!
This has turned into a political podcast for poorly informed virtue signaling feminine men
Omg. I just listened to this on the train.
I haven’t stopped laughing from start to end. Amazing podcast gentleman!
Keep up the good work x
James has let his love of everything left wing and his liberal views bleed onto the menu, I didn’t listen for your political opinion or your hatred of Farage etc. I just wanted to enjoy the interviews and funny chat. Such a shame that you have ruined this podcast by using it as your mouthpiece for your left wing agenda. You just lost a listener.
