Whenever they take a trip down to The Biz & Shizzle for a session they also take a trip down musical memory lane. Each time they look at notable moments in this history of the date of the session and chat large amounts of shiz about them. Also prepare yourselves for pub quizzes, a grumpy landlord with a familiar voice and strong opinions before last orders.

    Session 18 : August 28th

    It's Session 18 already (not Session 17 as Chris says at the start, but give him a break, he's about to go on his hols). Matty has been working the back end of a couple of festivals and he's a bit knackered so hasn't really watched much. That being said, he did smash in Terminator 2 recently (as did Chris) which sparks an interesting conversation inspired by a man on the internet about James Cameron's sad career arc. Lots of Beatles things to consider as usual, Ringo isn't even the best drummer in Chicago. Movie releases seem a bit meh in the past but out today are a couple of belters. While the music news is dominated by strong boss women and the US national days take a surreal turn. Harry is on form as usual, but we're not sure how long that will last.

    Session 17 : July 31st

    It's Session 17 and a lovely end of the monther to bite into. Matt has been throwing shapes with his dinner to Shy FX whilst Chris has been delayed on every single train he's been on this year. For some reason, Harry wants to get metaphysical with the ladz, and who are they to question his prefs? Music news brings with it a panoply of Snoop Dogg updates as well as a surprise gift for the people of Italy from Simon & Garfunkel. There's a few movies an TV shows to celebrate as well for what is actually a fairly slim time of the year for popular culture history. I guess we'll put this down to everyone being on their holibobs!

    Session 16 : June 26th

    Matthew, Christopher & Henry return for a slow news day. June 26th didn't have a massive amount going on, but it seems like they still have plenty to talk about. There's a lovely little Hurt Locker coincidence and some interesting Bee Gee word play as well as a bunch of Glastonbury trivia. The birthday band DOES involve a problematic vocalist, but with the recent resurgence of Michael Jackson in popular culture, we doubt anyone will even bat an eyelid. Harry is pleased with the early finish due to his crochet club moving their AGM forward, so both the boys decide to call it a day and will be back for July 31st.

    Session 15 : May 29th

    Session 15 of The Biz and Shizzle sees co-hosts Chris and Matty escaping a blistering heatwave in their favourite virtual pub garden. In host updates, Chris recaps a frantic 10-day UK tour, highlighting a solo trip to a David Bowie exhibition where the ticketing system ironically lacked an option for attending "alone". He also deep-dives into a massive movie watchlist, cheekily crowning Linda Hamilton an absolute "smoke show" in Terminator 2. Meanwhile, Matty is busy constructing his booming poultry empire, "Chicken City", funded entirely by selling fresh eggs to local campers. The trivia segment keeps the actual answers locked down tight. Matty fires off riddles covering Bob Hope’s final deathbed gag, a chaotic 1913 Parisian ballet premiere, stolen 1980's fashion photography, and a classic hip-hop group name-change riddle. You'll have to listen to the full episode to see if Chris truly "completed Nirvana" as claimed. Now, regarding Landlord Harry Piles and his "pub renovation"—honestly? He hasn't done a single tap of actual work. Instead of picking up a paintbrush, Harry spent the session shouting from the bar, calling the hosts "sweaty duckers", aggressively barking the correct date, mourning his tragically missing gallbladder, and ordering people not to vomit in his beer garden. Peak productivity from Harry. You can hear us on all major platforms, so don't forget to subscribe wherever you get your shows at!

    Session 14 : April 24th

    Oh well here we bloody well are! Matt is still enjoying the nicer weather in South Wales this Spring, Chris has been enjoying even sunnier climes in Malta, despite the constant construction work and church bells every 15 minutes. Meanwhile there's some reckies on the go including the new Peak Blinders film, Will and Harper, Dare Devil and.....Teen Wolf! Yes, it still stands up, even if its while surfing on top of a van. The April 24th's emerge as the birthday and to end all drum and bass birthdays and in deaths, we pay tribute to members of the almost rans 'Badfinger'. Plenty of Bealtes stuff going on as per! And to add to the current dystopian feel of the world right now, we celebrate the anniversary of the release of one of the best AI themed films ever made. Harry is on form this month, if a little grumpy as is often the case.

    Session 13 : March 27th

    It’s March 2026, and the air at The Biz & Shizzle is thick with the scent of daffodils! Chris and Matty settled into the snug on Friday, March 27th, just as British Summer Time loomed. Chris arrived sporting a suspicious pink glow—allegedly from a 117K bike ride. Chris has been binging Oscar winners like Hamnet and the Norwegian masterpiece Sentimental Value. He claims he can "get by" with Norwegian but mostly had to rely on the subs. Matty rewatched The Fall Guy (2024) and is currently deep into a Peaky Blinders marathon. He’s averaging two episodes a night, mostly to spot all the Liverpool filming locations. The 27 Threes: Matty assembled a "Birthday Band" that would either be a Grammy-winning powerhouse or a total sonic nightmare. It features Mariah Carey, Fergie, and Jesse J on vocals, backed by the keyboardist from Genesis and a Japanese guitar hero. In Memoriam: The pub raised a glass to Ian Dury and Dudley Moore, the "sex thimble" who went out hearing the music all around him. Hip-Hop & Hams: The show got a much-needed injection of hip-hop history with the anniversary of Run DMC’s debut and Tupac Shakur’s Me Against the World—the first album to debut at number one while the artist was in the clink. The Fancy Fact In a crossover nobody asked for, it turns out Quentin Tarantino and Fergie were both in the film Planet Terror. Tarantino, playing a zombie, reportedly bit Fergie during a scene, proving that he really does get his teeth into a role—literally. The boys will be back on April 24th for Session 14, feeling a little bit older! You can hear us on all major platforms, so don't forget to subscribe wherever you get your shows at!

    Session 12 : February 27th

    For February 27th we let you know the vaguely interesting things that happened in popular culture and we do it with, quite frankly, vim! Brace yourselves....It's our 1st Birthday Podcast. And we barely mention it. What do we talk about instead? Bread? No. Politics? Barely. Flesh? NO! But there's load of boss stuff to hear about. All we're saying is: Bowie - J Dilla. (if there's a few audio mistakes e.g. dogs, tummy rumbles and lips smacking, we're sorry, it's one of those months. It actually takes a lot of work to put one one of these things into the world) Listen in now.
