    The World Cup of Mythical Beasts (Groups A–D)

    Bigfoot. Robin Hood. Blackbeard. Leprechauns. And some characters that really do need explaining.

    The Unofficial Guide to Prepping

    If the world ended tomorrow, would you have any idea what to do? Governments are encouraging people to prepare for emergencies, doomsday preppers are building bunkers and stockpiling supplies, and the rest of us are wondering whether a few tins of beans and a torch will be enough. Alright Fans and Sam Hammond (Vom Cruise) return with The Unofficial Guide to Prepping, exploring what it really takes to survive when everything goes wrong. From emergency food supplies and drinking water to power cuts, survival equipment, underground shelters and escaping a major city, the boys attempt to put together their ultimate apocalypse survival plan.

    The Unofficial Guide to Breakups

    Breaking up is hard to do. Talking about it? That's a different story altogether. This week, Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie return with another instalment of The Unofficial Guide, tackling one of life's most awkward, painful and occasionally hilarious experiences: breakups. From first loves and teenage heartbreak to messy separations, getting dumped, doing the dumping, awkward encounters with exes and the questionable decisions we make when relationships fall apart, the boys explore the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous sides of calling it quits. Who gets custody of the mates? Is getting back with an ex ever a good idea? How long should you wait before moving on? And why do some breakups still haunt you years later? Expect personal stories, brutally honest opinions, plenty of laughs and a few moments that might hit closer to home than expected. As always, there are no experts, no relationship counsellors and absolutely no guarantee of sensible advice. Just two mates talking about love, loss, moving on and knowing when it's time to call it a day. But whatever you do, make sure you stay until the very end. Because just when you think you've heard everything, the boys have one final announcement that nobody will see coming. This is one episode you really don't want to miss.

    Top 40 Mad Haircuts

    Forty haircuts. Forty crimes against the barber's chair. One undisputed number one. Alright Fans and Crazy Ginger Cabbie are back with another Top 40, this time counting down the maddest haircuts of all time. From David Beckham's cornrows, Marouane Fellaini's afro and Phil Foden's skin fade to Roberto Baggio's ponytail, Michael Bolton's mullet, Joe Exotic, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Liam Gallagher, Hulk Hogan, Steven Seagal, Paddy Pimblett and plenty more, no head is safe. Footballers, rock stars, wrestlers, actors, TV personalities and some genuinely astonishing styling decisions all make the countdown. Some were fashionable at the time. Some have somehow survived for decades. Some were never acceptable in the first place. And then there's Gerry Francis. Who takes number one? Which legendary barnet has been criminally overlooked? And how many different ways can two grown men describe a mullet? It's the Top 40 Mad Haircuts.
