Two rootless gents—a transient Brit in Buenos Aires and a nomadic American in Los Angeles—laugh their way through stories about everything and nothing, obsessing over the minutiae of daily existence while striving to answer life’s big questions, like “Weren’t we younger once?” Conversations range in topic from the tawdry hell of approaching middle-age to the scandalous lack of air conditioning units in the Tower of London visitor experience—plus a smidgen of everything and a super-size dollop of nothing in between.

    Episode 30: Was the Coronation Quiche Tone-Deaf?

    Episode 28: Acid Reflux with a Side of Disney World

    Fresh from a dystopian family vacation to Disney World (or was it Dismaland?), a Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Broke Phil goes on an extended rant about his hellish experience in the Happiest Place on Earth™ (But he really did have a good time) as Dominic ponders whether or not to shoot himself. PLUS: Unnecessary detail about Phil’s Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), winsome memories of roleplaying with Dutch girls, the alarmingly massive growth of nudists in Britain, and the lamentable infantilization of society.

    Episode 26: A Complete Dog’s Dinner

    In their most depressing episode yet—unfavorably compared to a poorly cooked Duck à l'Orange TV dinner—the Two Gents reminisce about the golden age of political sex scandals, when men wore Chelsea football kits with lace stockings, and women sold their sleazy, toe-sucking stories to the tabloids. ALSO: Should humans be eating pond scum and fertiliser run-off? Did Betty White get better looking with age? When did mopheads cease riding mopeds? Is it time to end the Virgin Mary’s monopoly on miracle appearances and embrace Boris Johnson’s likeness in Chicken Tikka Masala? And is Yanni a big pianist or just a keyboard player? PLUS: Phil sings “Believe” and “Turn Back Time” in an unmissable and uncanny impersonation of Cher. With a back-to-basics Phil in Los Angeles and a Trussing-it-up Dominic Hilton in Buenos Aires.

    Episode 25: Christie Brinkley Likes This Podcast!

    Breathless after a digital encounter with the real world Christie Brinkley, the Two Gents turn their attention to everything from the art of terrible gifting to the important role of kebab pizzas in Swedish prison breaks. As Phil reveals his cunning plan to sell one of Dominic’s kidneys, Dominic wonders why he can’t pronounce Phil’s name properly. PLUS: What do bad decisions in your twenties get you?; Is a spanner just a spanner or is it a wrench?; Has the etiquette of eating hamburgers changed post pandemic?; and Why does anyone bother reading fiction? Plus, free wonga for chimney sweeps, disappointing Christmases past, and the time Phil got trapped in a cage in a cave in Ireland with no access to the gift shop or cafe. With a Yanni-loving Phil in Los Angeles and a Bjorn Borg-resembling Dominic Hilton in Buenos Aires. Inquiries: twogentsfromnowhere@gmail.com

    Episode 24: Should All Statues be Sans Vêtements?

    With Phil on the road, and Spotify confirming that there is nothing else like this podcast show, Dominic is forced to play host, with questionable results. In this week’s unmissable episode: Is Argentina the future? Should politicians stand around in Aviators looking at scenes of destruction? Can you live in a pitta bread? Was Harald Harefoot named Harald Harefoot because he had a hairy foot? Were the Salem witches sexy? And why does Dominic keep referring to our listeners as “readers”? Meanwhile, Phil gets a check from the IRS, and the Two Gents are joined on the line by a special guest from Mar-a-Lago. With an in transit gloria Phil and a bewitched Dominic Hilton in Buenos Aires.
