    Episode 10 - Tinker. Tailor. Soldier. Taxidermist. (Or, A Million Things To Do With Mackerel)

    Parts, labour, VAT, goodwill. Do you add goodwill to a taxidermy transaction? Anyway, come join Beck, Ant, Dom and amateur taxidermy valuer Alex in The Metropolitan as we discuss this and many other important topics. For example, why did Dom keep going back to a barber that routinely coughed in his face? Found out how Beck plans to get invited on secret missions and which American TV presenter Dom wants to be as the Team discuss what trades they would go into. Lots of dead animal chat in this one; hear about the different banana-opening techniques that dogs and monkeys have, whether or not Baloo is an accurate depiction of a bear and how easy it is to confuse a large dog with a Gorilla. Grow up.

    Episode 09 - Sponsored by Carr's Pasties (Or, Non-Denominational Chocolate Holiday Island)

    Old timers Beck, Dom & Tom are joined by débutantes Sam (he's from "the South") and Nathan (he's from "Bolton") as the team head to 54 Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Lots of potential conflicts resolved in this one: Who will win the war on Easter? Who would win in a war between Spain and England? What about between Bolton and Cornwall? Ok, what about between Gregg's and Carr's Pasties? Well, that last one is a non-contest. Plus, we learn about the highs and lows of playing Jenga (Sam nearly died, but Beck got a date!) and the team name their début albums. Last but not least, since it's May Day, we hear about the team's tales of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. RIP Linda (Jan 2015-Feb 2017)

    Episode 08 - The Master of Potatoes (Or, Searching for Sugar Cube)

    The team recreate a previous episode as Beck, Ant, Amy and Dom head to The Metropolitan in West Didsbury. Lots of culinary delights in this one as Beck regales us with his citrus successes (he's getting back into citrus in a big way) and we learn about Ant's potato plight. It's educational too! Amy teaches us a new word and there are detailed instructions on how to become Britain's biggest producer of quinoa. Plus, Dom explains how he nearly died as everyone reveals their biggest failures and there's some cringe-worthy stories about bad first impressions (or, in Amy's case, a list of reasons why she doesn't like someone). Where did you get that Jamaica cake?!

    Episode 07 - Gylfi Sigurdsson's Wetherforks (Or, The Ballad of Big Hands Booth)

    SUITS. FOOTBALL. PUBS. RUNNING. HAIRCUTS. PRACTICAL FISHING KEEPING. THE CORRECT SPELLING OF JEHOVAH. JUNKIES. All bases covered in this sport-heavy episode as the team head to Allotment in central Manchester. Aside from all the laddy-lad sport banter, Tom, Dom, Domm and Beck still found time to name (and theme) their imaginary pubs, come clean about their biggest lies and say something potentially libellous about indie band The View. Plus, live a day in the life of the hardest working man in Scottish football; Ronnie Forsyth. Come on in and have a Grorbnorsch!

    Episode 06 - The Dummies Guide to Ruining a Party (Or, Getting Over 'Getting Over the X')

    The team head to the Briton's Protection in central Manchester as Tom, Beck, Dom and a very hungover Ant boast about their claims to fame and reveal their favourite curries (what's this about curry?) Listen in to find out the true meaning of the phrase "a private meeting with the Prime Minister of Cameroon" and the juicy details of Beck's twitter spat with an X-factor finalist (who has since deleted, and reinstated, his Twitter account. Coincidence?) Also, ever wondered what the worst chat-up line in the history of the world is? You'll find it in this podcast. Where you girls at? Recorded at the Britons Protection, Manchester.

    Episode 05 - Double Vodka Jager Bombs (Or, 'Tis Living!)

    A packed house of soul-searching this month as the team head to the Castle Hotel in Manchester. Beck, Ant, Tom, Ozzy and Kate reveal their boxing nicknames, the mottos they live their life by and their biggest mistakes in life (or, in Ant's case, his top three). This episode also features a cameo from Dom who, unsurprisingly, was late. Just add shmer!

    Episode 04 - Merry Christmas & a Hap Emu Year (Or, Clips, Cheese & Santa)

    MERRY CHRISTMAS! As a little Christmas bonus, here are some stocking fillers (snippets that didn't make the final cut of the other podcasts we've recorded), followed by your main present; a large helping of "Christmas Banter" (capital B) which features Tom, Dom, Beck & Ant and was recorded at the Briton's Protection in mid-December. Merry Christmas & a Hap Emu Year!
