    John Hastings Larry Dean Podcast Episode #10

    In Episode 10 of The John Hastings & Larry Dean Show, the comedians spiral into chaotic brilliance — from Reddit porn rabbit holes and British kink culture to bad bedside manners, clueless pilots, and the decline of UK manners. With trademark honesty and ridiculous tangents, John and Larry unpack everything from air travel anxiety to Black Sabbath’s coke-fueled studio days, arguing whether UK or US rock truly reigns supreme. It’s raw, hysterical, and painfully relatable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    John Hastings Larry Dean Podcast Episode #3

    Episode 3 of The Larry Dean & John Hastings Show goes off the rails in the best way. John Hastings and Larry Dean spiral from imagined supermarket announcements to stories about stealing, addiction to risk, oversaturated capitalism, audience behaviour, aging algorithms, and the cultural chaos of the UK Midlands. From bananas and body counts in Tesco to the psychology of crime, comment sections, Birmingham slander, and the weird expectations of comedy crowds in the UK vs USA — this is an unfiltered, rapid-fire comedy chat between two sharp, chaotic stand-ups with zero plan and maximum honesty. Listeners can expect: dark humour, cultural commentary, wild personal stories, crowd psychology, algorithm rage, British vs American audiences, and a long, aggressive side-quest into why Birmingham may or may not be a real city.

    John Hastings Larry Dean Podcast Episode #2

    In this second episode of the John Hastings & Larry Dean Show, the two comedians ramble through awkward social dynamics — from neglectful comedian partners to making an egg at a boring house-party and getting kicked out. They riff on how COVID changed their social lives, the weird pressures around “growing up,” and what it means to settle (or refuse to settle) for adulthood. They also compare British vs American comedy audiences and reveal existential views on health care, parenting, and relationships. Brutally honest, occasionally crude, and full of self-deprecating laughs, this episode mixes stand-up sensibilities with messy real life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    John Hastings Larry Dean Podcast Episode #1

    In their chaotic debut, John Hastings and Larry Dean spiral from cringe podcast voices to sex parties, secret Snapchat behaviour, and the sacred hoarding of comedian gossip. They trade stories about adulterers, secret bisexuals, joint Facebook accounts, cartoon porn sightings, and the most unhinged bus ride in Montreal history. The conversation veers into British hopelessness, Scottish socialism, American chain stores, gentrification by gays and Orthodox Jews, and the cultural differences that make John want to flee the UK. Raw, reckless, and overshared, Episode One establishes this show as a beautifully unfiltered spiral into modern comedy life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
