    Episode 451 - Gordon The Gopher

    We grew up in a time when someone could sew a squeaker into a sock and make a fortune from pretending it was entertaining. No wonder our generation hates everything now.

Happy 4th anniversary

Keep the wagon wheels rolling !

Joel H. ,

Brilliant!

Mark and Martyn are hilarious and make even the least entertaining subjects into a laugh-out-loud conversation. High on the nostalgia factor for anyone who grew up watching 80's cartoons!
