Description
Forced out of their homes by their wives, Luke and Jon - two of the most average men you'll ever meet, talk about everything on their walks to and from the pub. Inside the pub? Nothing is discussed. This show is all about the noise, not the signal; imagine a deafening wall of exceptional mediocrity coming at you in audio form.
