“Is it ok for a man to name his dog after his best friend?”

9 thoughts I (Rob Manuel) had listening back to this episode

1. Oh god we're going to have to cut all that really funny stuff about [redacted] because we don't want [redacted] to lose their job.

2. These two people are complete dickheads but I quite like them because this is the sound of me and Dave sitting up to 5 in the morning as teenager talking absolute bollocks.

3. I feel there could be repercussion from mentioning family stuff - it's not my intent to cause family woe here - but if you open your mouth and press record for an hour then who the hell knows what's going to come out.

4. I quite enjoyed listening to me moan about the gym, sitting on a spin bike in the same bloody gym. I won't tell you which one it is, but I didn't go there for years as my partner thought it looked like a swingers club.

5. These podcasts really do end up mentioning the crap that's floated around my head forever, I've now had at least two references to Amstrad CPC 464s in them, which really can't be what anyone ever singed up for, but that's what you're going to get.

6. I think we've settled into a groove with the "week in reviews" in this one. The format is there and we're relaxed - although there's plenty of options for other sections. Feedback from the listeners would be nice - also rejected fesses would be good.

7. Titling these things is fucking hard with "week in review" as what it's about? It's about lots of things. "Is it ok for men to bring their own bluetooth speakers into the sauna?" "Is it ok to call things Dave?" "Yes we are old men with opinions like DVDs and CDs were quite good you know".

8. I sorta wish I didn't cop out 5 mins before the end and admit I was tired. Power on through, that's what I want to hear, although maybe that would be a good podcast "I am very tired" and people say they're tired and yawn and stuff and it would help people sleep.

9. God it makes me nervous sticking this stuff out - it's just me and Dave talking like we normally talk - but with a bit of structure. What if people hate us? Well they won't hate Dave, Dave is nice, I'm clearly a bastard.

ANHWAYWHAYHWAH - hope you enjoy it and stick around for the next one, coz it's another corker.
