Love this Richie so good .I’m looking forward to listening to much more from both of you
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 :)
