I'm absolutely delighted to hear that you have tiny humans in your life. There is nothibg so precious or worth protecting in any way you can. x x I've always said, sure he has the time to be this amazing, single man, loads of free time. Fair play to you! Whats my excuse now though? Can you maybe confirm that you don't have ADHD, so I can blame that? I might just try to be amazing too!
listening to this in 2026 for the 1st time and this is even more relevant now.
this episode is hysterical, I've not laughed so much hearing how a government or council can make a mess of something which should be straightforward.
I'm listening to this episode now in Jan 2026 and you've predicted whats happened with America & Venezuela...forcibly taking control of another country for resources.
Brilliant episode, lots of dots connecting.
I dream about this episode. Storytelling delux✨

The recent Gatsby party is surely the perfect example of "Behavioral Sink". Check out the "Mouse Paradise" experiments.
I cannot bring myself to listen to this. Manchán was my favorite BB guest. He is so missed, already.
aw good on ye blindboy. beautiful tribute
thank you blind boy for this
Once a week wasn't enough. So I've gone back to the beginning for the occasional top up. Thanks for the wisdom, the stories & the laugh out loud moments.
Another fantastic podcast. On the subject of Chile and as you are coming to Scotland, have you ever seen the film, Nae Pasaran? Scottish workers at the Rolls Royce factory boycotted and 'borrowed' engines destined for Chile during Pinochets dictatorship. Keep being you.

Towards the end there's sime distortion. Highly annoying with headphones. Awesome episode, otherwise.
the reason Jaffa cakes are cake. not biscuits. cake goes hard when stale. biscuits go soft. Jaffa's go hard.

Thank you for all the comforting and healing podcast hugs. I started listening when I was traveling in Asia in 2017, I live in Vancouver now and I look forward to my weekly dose. I will read that economist lads book. I have learned, I have laughed over the years. I love that at the core your message is peaceful and loving. Thanks lad.
