    Mead, tombstones & the Lotto Lout

    A generous gift triggers a journey through time for the lads. Under the influence of a divine brew they discuss dirty bible verse, the Brit Awards and disposable vapes.

    Potatoes, crashes & the shadow world

    The lads must rally to save the recording when Jeff Bezos drops the ball. Luckily the failures of Big Tech doesn’t stop Sunil from eating a single potato on its own with nothing else, nor does it impede Chris reminding everyone about his big house.
