Episodes

Two Bald Men Fighting Over a Comb

We commemorate the madness of The Falklands War, 40 years on. We had some recording issues on this one - intially Dave sounds like he's broadcasting from the islands themselves and Lee sounds like he's stuck in a battleship funnel but don't let it put you off as it's a very good episode, if we do say so ourselves.

Something EXTRA Wicked #8

Our idle chatter takes us through sketchy sitcoms of the 70s and 80s, plus some good ones like Cowboys and Fools and Horses. We also dip into Cameo, the video messages from 'stars' thing and wonder 'who'd want Frank Stallone?! The Staircase / Michael Peterson case also features. All in all it's a great episode with plenty of laughs.

Mad Bands and Singers

Boring Serial Killers

If only they'd taken up bowls or had a shed, instead of doing all that killing.

FUCK OFF FOOTBALL!!!

Does watching Soccer Sunday make you depressed? Do you hate yourself for listening to Talksport all day? Are you losing your mind over VAR, diving, charmless pundits and rip-off prices? Does the whole shebang just do your fucking head in?! If so listen up.

Incels

They are often depicted as hateful, self-pitying misogynists bent on violence but are the majority of Incels just chronically lonely and self-hating men who deserve help and compassion?
