Merry Christmas tolerators!

This week we take a look at swearing, and we swear a lot while doing it.

Also, if you're hungry as a frog for more Mum content, you won't be hungry for much longer.

We also launch our first ever listener competition. Make sure you enter to be in the running to win a very exclusive and sought-after slice of what's that about memorabilia.

Pressure points

This week we look into nostalgia, and take a trip down memory lane to listen to the first bit of content we ever made.... only to discover we haven't evolved one bit.....we've probably gotten worse if anything.

This week we talk about solitary confinement. 

We're experts in this having broadcast a podcast to no one for 5 years now. 

In a sadly transparent attempt to garner more attention, Luke and Don take a look at something topical......emerging conspiracy theory "QAnon".

Beards without moustaches, what's that about!?

We also debut an exciting new segment, and then cancel it straight away.

This week we're looking into the massively popular ASMR videos. 

These videos are based around extremely close mic'd talking, role playing and scraping noises designed to elicit tingling on the scalp of viewers. 

It's even weirder than it sounds- and yet, not as disturbing as a noise Don makes during the episode. 

This episode Luke and Don try to figure out why some people think the earth is flat.....because it's not.... right?
