Ep.10: Clones, Theme Parks and Bens Bargain Brains

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and new guest Ben debate what they'd do if they suddenly came face-to-face with a perfect clone of themselves, consider whether immortality would still be worth it if their consciousness ran on modern-day technology, and design their dream theme parks based on any book, film or TV series. Along the way, they discuss clone murder, dangerously high milk consumption, building an entire workforce of Sams, solving world hunger through questionable means, bargain brain uploads, Breaking Bad theme parks, zombie experiences, and the surprising business potential of storing rich people's brains on floppy disks. As always, three hypothetical questions quickly spiral into questionable ethics, terrible business ideas and several concepts that probably shouldn't be explored any further. Look out for new episodes every 2 weeks and if you enjoy this episode, we'd really appreciate a good rating on your podcast platform of choice and a share with anyone who enjoys questionable debates and impossible decisions.

Ep.9: Body Swap, Dream House and a Life Time on Hold

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and Emily decide who around the table they'd body swap with for a week, design their dream homes with no shortage of questionable architectural choices, and tackle a listener question involving a phone line that can give you the true answer to absolutely anything, provided you're willing to endure the world's worst call centre. Along the way, they discuss the realities of swapping bodies, Sam's decrepit body, new-castles, Grand Designs drinking games, Darren's alleged wealth, Emily's hatred of call centres and just how much of humanity Sam is willing to save while everyone else gets increasingly annoyed. As always, three simple questions somehow descend into the usual nonscense.

Ep.8: Sprinting, Second Chancing and a Hell of a Theme Tune

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and Kara debate whether it would be better to fly at 20 miles per hour or run at 70, decide between having a personal theme tune or a laugh track following them everywhere, and consider whether they would accept the ability to live every day twice. Along the way, they discuss road tax for super-speed runners, flying window cleaners, musical entrances, Sams early rendition of our theme tune before it actually existed, and whether a day that gets erased ever really happened. As always, the questions begin lightly before spiralling a surprisingly bleak discussion thanks as always to Sam.

Ep.7: Inanimate, Mini Thief and a Rich Man's Game

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and Emily debate which everyday object they'd bring to life as their best friend, discuss what they'd do if the Borrowers really were living in their walls, and try to decide which parts of modern life should swap places between the rich and the poor. Along the way, the conversation veers into talking spoons, Dave the Lego figure, taxidermy, imaginary AI companions, borrower rights, birthday presents, handwritten letters, gas meter keys, luxury gap years and why the humble postman might have more to worry about than just delivering the mail... a lot right? As always, three innocent questions quickly unravel into increasingly ridiculous conversations, questionable morals, and far too many unintended consequences.

Ep.6: Dessert, Dinky Legs and Buzzzz sized Dragon

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and Pete debate whether breakfast or dessert is the superior meal to eat in bed, try to work out whether impossibly long fingers would be worse than impossibly short legs, and decide if they'd rather own a dragon the size of a border collie or one large enough to fly across the country. Along the way, they discuss imaginary girlfriends, dragon tourism, heating your house with dragon fire, exploiting magical creatures for profit, and whether owning a dragon would make you a millionaire or just the world's most expensive pet owner. As always, the questions start off simple before quickly spiralling into increasingly ridiculous territory.

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and Pete discuss whether they'd want to see exactly how much everyone likes them, imagine a world where every luck-based superstition suddenly becomes real, and debate whether it would be better to stop time or see two minutes into the future. Along the way, the conversation drifts into disastrous first dates, rabbit farming, magpies and the moral dilemma of time travel. As always, what starts as three simple hypothetical questions quickly descends into the usual overthinking, and unintended consequences.

Send your ‘what if’, ‘would you rather’ and ‘if you could’ scenarios for the chance for them (and maybe even you) to appear on future episodes In this episode of No Good Options, Darren, Sam and guest Kara discuss what they would do if they suddenly gained Superman's powers but knew anyone in the world could take them away at any moment. They also debate whether a world filled only with nursery rhymes would be better than a world with no music at all, before facing off against one of the internet's most enduring questions: would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or one hundred duck-sized horses? Along the way, a baby joins the team, the conversation drifts into pizza delivery, superheroes, nursery rhyme economics, giant eggs, pet ducks, and several deeply questionable survival strategies.
