  1. Alan Ritchsons Love Eggs

    HACE 1 DÍA

    Alan Ritchsons Love Eggs

    Episode 76 of The Variety Show is here and it might be the strangest mix of topics we’ve had in a while. Tom and Rob start with movies, including the Netflix sci-fi action film War Machine, which unexpectedly turns into a full appreciation segment for Alan Ritchson. There’s also a chat about the different eras of Spider-Man films, why Andrew Garfield might be underrated, and how modern blockbuster movies compare to the classics we grew up with. Gaming chaos follows as the lads talk about introducing kids to video games. From the early disasters of Minecraft parenting to the surprisingly perfect starter game Goat Simulator 3, they discuss how modern kids jump straight into huge open-world games like Spider-Man 2 when we all started with a joystick and one button. Then comes the Chipmunk Challenge — a quiz of badly described films that somehow manages to confuse two grown men who claim to love movies. Expect terrible clues, wild guesses, and the realisation that some films sound completely unhinged when described badly. The food segment returns with a seasonal classic as Rob tries a Cadbury Creme Egg for the first time ever. The result? Let’s just say the sweetness causes immediate regret. Finally, the Snack Sack returns with a drinks special featuring Sprite Lemon & Lime Tea, Coca-Cola Cherry Float, and Pepsi Max Tropical. One of them is surprisingly brilliant. One is deeply confusing. One is absolutely awful. Add in a rant about the so-called worst songs of the 90s, a nostalgic discussion about Easter eggs, and plenty of completely unnecessary Alan Ritchson jokes… and you’ve got Episode 76. Rude. Fun. Unfiltered. #WarMachine #UKComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #SnackSack #AlanRitchson

    The Snack Sack Saves The Day

    Episode 75 is chaos by design. With less than 24 hours before release, Rob and TJ hit record and commit to a raw 60-minute, no-edit episode. No music. No safety net. Just parenting exhaustion, 90s nostalgia, snack reviews, and an unexpectedly furious Peppa Pig rant. Yes. We’re talking about Daddy Pig. The episode spirals (in a good way) through Peppa Pig’s portrayal of dads, questionable Bluey books, bedtime story chaos, and whether kids’ shows secretly hate fathers. From “Daddy Pig’s Lost Keys” to fairground sexism and archery stalls, nothing is safe. Then it’s onto pure nostalgia fuel: a 90s sound quiz featuring ... see if you can guess. This one will hit hard. We also revisit Ambassadors of Funk’s 1992 Super Mario Land track and ask: was it best left in the 90s, or does it still slap? Snack Sack returns with: Caramel Penguins (that barely taste like caramel)Japanese Toppo vanilla biscuit sticks (deeply underwhelming)Lay’s Numb & Spicy Hot Pot crisps (absolute redemption arc)There’s also film spinner chat, No Country for Old Men love, Hopper reactions, studio updates, and the joy of rediscovering retro tech like Doom, DOS prompts and CRT start-up sounds. It’s rude. It’s chaotic. It’s unfiltered. And somehow… it works. New episodes every two weeks on Monday. Part of the Channel 84 network. #Podcast #90sNostalgia #PeppaPig #RetroGaming #SnackReview

  3. Creme Eggs & Coping Stones

    Creme Eggs & Coping Stones

    This week on The Variety Show, it’s Cream Eggs & Coping Stones — and yes, it’s exactly as unhinged as it sounds. Rob drills into his wall and discovers a soggy brickwork nightmare thanks to porous coping stones (because nothing says fun like unexpected water damage). Meanwhile, Tom discovers his robot vacuum has been secretly sabotaging him with a “Do Not Disturb” mode that basically means “Do Not Clean.” We dive into The Snack Sack Taste Test featuring: 🍫 Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Eggs 🍫 Milky Bar Crunch 🍫 Questionable hazelnut wafers Spoiler: not everything deserves a comeback. Then it’s full throttle into 2026 movie trailer reactions — including Super Mario Galaxy, Mortal Kombat 2, Project Hail Mary, Masters of the Universe, Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, and more. Are we hyped? Are we worried? Are we just old? And finally… we revisit a late 90s girl band hit in Was It Best Left in the 90s? Let’s just say… Ireland deserved better. Builders. Bots. Bangers. Rude. Fun. Unfiltered. 🎧 New episodes every other week from Studio:Channel84. #Podcast #MovieTrailers #90sNostalgia #SnackReview #PopCulture Social Details Now open - Reddit!!

    24 Deaths and a Children’s Theme Tune

    We’re recording Episode 73 of The Variety Show LIVE, and it’s an absolute rollercoaster of nostalgia, snacks, questionable adverts, and childhood trauma. This episode starts with the usual nonsense before Tom absolutely loses it over a baffling Wickes “Proud as a Peacock” advert, followed by a full-blown Guess the Company, Guess the Slogan quiz featuring iconic campaigns from Gillette, Toys R Us, Pot Noodle, Xbox, Milky Way, Barclaycard, the National Lottery, and more. There’s also a Snack Sack taste test, where things go from pleasantly surprising to deeply regrettable thanks to maple mochi, Neapolitan Kit Kats, and cheeseburger crisps that probably shouldn’t exist. Then… we descend into darkness. The main discussion takes a hard look at The Animals of Farthing Wood, breaking down why it may be one of the most traumatising children’s TV shows ever broadcast. We dig into the 24 on-screen and implied deaths, revisit the most disturbing moments, and ask the important question: how did this air after school? Expect bad adverts, great slogans, terrible snacks, dead cartoon animals, and live reactions throughout. 📺 Recorded live as it happened — chaos included.

    Fancy a Choc Dick?

    It finally happened. One innocent snack chat. One unfortunate Freudian slip. And suddenly Rob has offered the nation a Choc Dick. In Episode 72 of The Variety Show, Tom and Rob return for another round of nostalgic nonsense, snack-based investigations and passionate rants that spiral wildly out of control. There’s a new season taste test format, a deep dive into modern Lego ruining childhoods, questionable chocolate scoring systems, a Journey Through Middle-Earth fitness challenge, and a snack so good it accidentally gets renamed forever. Expect: 🍫 A legendary Choc Dip slip-up 🧱 A furious Lego rant 🏃 FitQuest step challenges and VR workouts 🎶 Retro chart nonsense from the year 2000 🎄 Christmas aftermath chaos 😏 And far too many things being dipped into sacks It’s chaotic. It’s nostalgic. It’s filthy. And it’s absolutely on brand. Listen now and find out why Choc Dip will never be called Choc Dip again. #TheVarietyShow #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #SnackTest #Nostalgia FitQuest You can join FitQuest for free (and minimal data) here: https://fitquest.support-me.co.uk.
