Miles 'Air-Traffic Control' Chapman

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Before I start trying to justify the utter carnage that is this episode, I feel I owe you lovely people an apology for not delivering a pod since the 5th of December. As it goes I've got about 6 episodes recorded but I have been unwell and in a really spaced out zone the last couple of weeks, and my daily notes to myself about editing and posting ended up lost in a rotating list of shit that I haven't not even vaguely managed to do.However, by the time the year ends there will be a wonderful bonus Patreon episode of Tea and Empathy with a lady called Denise, who is a therapist, but on a more conversational friendly level instead of as a taster of therapy. I have also rescued and embellished the amazing Griggs conversation I had the other week but messed up. That means that you will be getting a Griggs special Christmas episode, that I promise you is fucking hilarious.Now back to this absolute fucking shambles. Every single time I have attempted to do a remote podcast with Miles Chapman, he has forgotten that he needs to be wearing headphone (and ideally is speaking into a proper mic), so that my voice does not come echoing out of the speakers at his end. And everytime I point it out and get frustrated he gets annoyed with me (as if it's my fault) to the point where it sounds like he might cry.Luckily nothing in this world, makes me happier than hearing Miles getting angry at something that is his own doing, and actually in some ways it is the only feeling I am still able to access in this cess-pool of a world. So please revel in the joy of the first few minutes of this shamefullly, hate-filled dirge. For the record I actually had to send the sound files to be cleaned up by AI, and what is left is still a bit annoying. Look out for the sudden laptop scratchy noises towards the end for example. I honestly give up.Still, enjoy the madness.Captain Seaside,Trigger warning: We talk about gruesome ways we would kill each other at the end and it is absolutely fine if you decide to bail out at that point.-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon! And if you can't, or indeed just don't want to, then I'm still super happy you're here (but I will now ignore you if I see you in the street)And if you want to hear more from me I'm always putting things up on my Instagram, come and say hello-------------------Editing by Oliver ConnollyProduction support from Drew ToynbeeCopyright 2026 Nico Tatarowicz
