Oslotim ,

This funniest pod around

I discovered this podcast due to some of Ellis’s other work. WOW….what a discovery. One of the pleasures of discovering this late is that I now have a full back catalogue to listen to. I quickly joined the Patreon subscription because content this good should not be free, and I get access to all the additional content.

Big thanks from me and keep up the great work 🙏

I will be listening and laughing.

I wish i hadn’t discovered this

I have this running on my headphones during my workday, walks, drives etc. the guys provide top quality entertainment every single episode. I have embarrased myself in supermarkets, snorting while listening to obscure references about people and places i have no idea who they are or why they are talking about them. Worst of all they have gotten me into Rugby, which would not be so bad if i hadn’t been Norwegian. The access to rougby here is abysmal at best. So with that in mind, you are a bunch of w*ankers and i love this podcast :)

I Like Them, They’re Great…

…but are they happy?
