Still talking with Jono and Rich

Rich loves when someone says “You handled that really well.” No, he didn't. You just had to listen to him bang on about it for three months while he recovered. At least nobody else knew.Also this episode:The Spice Girls' 30th anniversary singles have arrived, and apparently being a loyal fan now requires selling a kidney.The new iPhone is here. Rich's considered technical review: gross.The roast dinner makeover — because apparently even Sunday lunch isn't safe from being messed with.Retirement woes and the growing suspicion we're all going to be working until we're 96.Why do adults still bite their nails, and can you actually stop?And are selfies finally on the way out? Somewhere, an influencer just felt a disturbance in the universe.Plus, Rich has one major problem with 2026: every two minutes, it's Monday again.At this rate we'll be retired by next Tuesday. Unfortunately, we still won't be able to afford it.

Rich's salary isn't enough to buy a house, so he's done the financially responsible thing and bought an iced latte instead.Also this episode:The 2-2-2 rule that's apparently meant to keep your life and relationship healthy.Jono introduces us to the bride's Man of Honour.Rich attempts to use websites, gets completely defeated and ends up asking for help like someone's nana.A dose of nostalgia guaranteed to make you feel absolutely ancient.And apparently the fade is becoming this generation's step haircut. One day they're going to look back at the photos and understand.Plus, don't talk to Rich in the morning until he's had his… actually, you know what? Just don't talk to him in the morning.Home ownership can wait. The iced latte can't.

Saying “shopping” to Jono triggers roughly the same chemical reaction as saying “walkies” to a dog. Suddenly he's alert, excited and ready to leave the house.Also this episode:Rich discovers he's actually been doing something right with his phone. A rare technological victory.Jono asks the important question: has Bigfoot finally been found?The everyday things that seem to be slowly disappearing — handwriting, talking to strangers and all those little human habits we assumed would always be around.Would you survive the world's longest cruise, or would you be ready to swim home by week three?And Rich reflects on all the bad decisions he's made under the influence… before realising the sober ones haven't exactly been any better.At least the drunk decisions had an excuse.

If you offer Rich food and he says no, PLEASE offer again. He was only being polite the first time and was absolutely planning to say yes the second time.Also this episode:The genuine superpowers dogs seem to have that make humans look fairly useless.Jono has car stuff. That's as much enthusiasm as Rich can currently give it.Why the world map could be about to change.Broke? A study has come up with cheap date-night ideas. Unfortunately, Rich thinks most of them are massive red flags.And apparently nobody wants to go into the office anymore. Can't imagine why.Plus, adult friendships might be the greatest relationships of all: “Yes, I'm alive. I love you. Leave me alone. That's enough. Talk soon.”Low-maintenance friendships and low-budget dating. Rich only approves of one of them.

We've decided three-day weekends should be standard. Four days of pretending to be productive followed by three days recovering from it seems perfectly reasonable.Also this episode:Rich spots someone at the gym wearing what looks suspiciously like a police ankle tag. Naturally, he has questions.If a driverless car has to crash, how does it decide who — or what — to hit? Suddenly we're doing ethics.New York politics, Zohran Mamdani and AI — and whether banning or restricting it actually solves anything.And we're going properly old-school with corporal punishment in schools. Did it teach discipline, or were adults basically just allowed to hit children?From three-day weekends to the ethics of being hit by a robot car. We really should stop pretending this is an educational podcast.
