I love these guys, such lovable idiots
But in today’s world, I don’t mind the occasional bit of absurdity. 🇨🇦
Complete waste of time. The episodes flying to Manchester via Southampton were ridiculous: as if cost and environmental factors are not worth considering !
And even after blaming Chris for the delayed train to Southampton, and patronisingly dismissing the validity of the "control" because she knows someone who lives in Manchester, the protagonist claims a dubious "victory" by a mere 20 minutes or so.
Arrogant and unlikeable host makes this a no-no. Chris Skinner the only plus. F*ck you!
Brilliantly funny pod. Although still waiting for them to do my MK hack :)
Such a clever concept to pretend to be travelling to all these places together. Credit to the producer for use of field audio and dialogue to make it sound like they’re actually driving across Europe for no discernible reason or squabbling in a kayak. Would arguably be easier to just do the hacks but I guess pocketing the Patreon money to spend on Rubicon and flapjack is the priority here. Fair play for pulling it off, as I hazard most listeners haven’t the foggiest about the ruse.
