  • Ben is Brilliant

    Your podcast make me laugh out loud no matter where I am or who is around. Started listening about 6 months ago and have gone straight back to the beginning. You can tell there are 3 generations and I think that what makes it work. Colson try’s hard to keep things under control but it doesn’t work when Jack and Ben find something funny. I believe Ben has the best laugh ever. Colson ace, Jack naughty 😉 and Ben is mint. Keep doing what you do best.

    I’ve been watching Corrie for 40, for some reason I’m having a hard time getting episodes, so it’s lovely to hear some familiar voices

  • Gone down hill

    Slightly lost its way with topics etc. Still some good laughs but episodes hit and miss now.

    Always find it slightly weird the amount of stories about hurt/killed animals which Colson seems to enjoy a little too much.

    He’s also very much turning in to Alan Partridge as he tries to stay relevant.

  • BEST PODCAST!

    I shouldn’t really say this but I’ve literally ditched the other podcasts I used to listen to for this one because they don’t compare lol. The banter between them all is just so fun to listen to and I love hearing about what they get up to during the week (especially the animal encounters 🐶) the way they dissect the movies/tv shows they watch is outstanding (I recommend watching all the past episodes as well as the new) also the patreon is worth subscribing to for the community aspect alone! more
