Dinner with the boys

Today, it’s an email special, and the lads dive right in. First, Pete gets a roasting from an accountant over his take on charity tax write-offs, while another listener resurrects the classic “Did Pete know how Jesus died?” debate. Spoiler: yes, he knew about the crucifixion...but the finer details? Still a bit hazy.Meanwhile, Luke’s inspired by his brother-in-law’s legendary feat of downing 52 chicken nuggets in one sitting, sparking the ultimate question: how many could you take on in a single go?

The McRib comeback tour

Pete's gone on a pilgrimage to savour a McRib but is stopped in his tracks by a man who not only calls him an "old boy" but invites him to join his classic car club. Pete’s less than chuffed…meanwhile, the wife he has access to finds it hilarious. Elsewhere, the lads tackle a “kindness gone wrong” moment at the corner shop, breaking down the awkwardness of British politeness after a listener generously offers to cover a stranger’s chocolate bar - only for the bloke to cheekily upgrade his freebie with some chewing gum.Also on the docket: Luke’s rant about politicians cosplaying as “normal people,” and Pete’s ambitious plan to 3D-print a hip for his mum.

Let's round this up

This episode was supposed to be an email special but Pete got so animated about the idea of rounding up at the checkout when shopping that your missives had to take something of a backseat. When the boys did finally get to your emails, they read out messages from White Rock, British Columbia, Wisconsin *and* California including a message from someone who has just accidentally stolen some chicken goujons.

Only podcast I listen to as soon as it comes out religiously. Both guys are hilarious and both seem like decent blokes. I just hope Petey doesn't have a dark Ellen/James corden side to him. Keep up the good work!

Magnificent stuff. Like having a pub conversation with 2 mates where you’re glad you can’t get a word in.

I'm just off to Dublin zoo with a tea tray to find a hippo, if I get lifted by the cops i might need Pete to testify that bashing a hippo while trying to record it, is part of a valid science experiment
