Soup of the Day

Soup of the Day

In a turbulent week for popular culture, we discuss slaps at the Oscars, boos at Wembley and whether it’s ever permissible to eat a pickled onion with a roast dinner. There’s also lots of chat about what’s next for Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United’s manager-hunt and another ridiculous attempt at European club competition reform from UEFA.

PLUS, Joe is apoplectic over soup, Mike reveals why he still holds a grudge against his driving instructor and Hannah has invented some new pop stars. Enjoy!

She’s Obviously Half Fish

She’s Obviously Half Fish

Mike is back and in a break from the norm… wants to talk about Arsenal (obvs), as he rages over Ashley Young’s criticism of the Gunner’s celebrations against Aston Villa. We also wonder whether Tammy Abraham should be in the England team after the Roma striker became the first English player to score in a Rome derby since Paul Gascoigne and we ask will Everton really go down?
PLUS, Hannah reveals what happened when her Mum went to watch her host Miss Scarborough, the gang ponder where you draw the line (pun intended) when it comes to fancying cartoon characters and Joe has a shocking confession involving his elderly neighbour. Enjoy!

Playing Games with Sir Ian McKellen and Hairnet Sandwiches

With Mike away at his biannual naked beard retreat, Joe and Hannah are joined by movie presenter and Newcastle fan Simon Harkness, who has the gall to claim Eddie Howe is a better football manager than friend of the show Steve Bruce! There’s also plenty of chat about Manchester United’s unpredictable form, we ask where does Harry Kane stand in the list of Premier League greats and whether Liverpool are now favourites for the Premier League title?

Simon also reveals Gandalf might not be as wise as we thought, Hannah tells us just why she’s always found soap operas so traumatic and Joe tries out a new jingle. ENJOY!

Spurs Overhaul, a Harrowing Night in Hamburg and Hannah's One Minute of Glory

With Mike away at Beardfest 2021, Joe and Hannah are left to their own devices and weirdly, there is actually some football chat.

There's also some Messi, Lewandowski and Ballon D'Or chat, as Joe and Hannah describe times they've been stitched up, plus there's more of Hannah wanging on about when she was on 'the TV show Gladiators', while Joe relives some serious trauma from a trip to Germany.
