Discussing Nothing

This one starts with a simple question… what’s the worst thing beginning with G? And somehow ends up with a full debate on gangly people, forced group games, and why duck, duck, goose might be the most humiliating activity ever created. As always, it goes off track pretty quickly. If you’ve ever been dragged into a game you didn’t want to play, this one will feel painfully familiar.

Take a trip back to childhood. Emma, Ross and Aalyn are ranking their top childhood snacks… and it quickly turns into chaos. From Angel Delight (controversial), to Tiny Teddies getting absolutely dismantled, to Calippos, Lunchables and the iconic Müller Corner… this one is pure nostalgia.There are strong opinions, questionable pronunciations, and a very detailed method of eating biscuits that probably says too much about someone. What was your go-to childhood snack?

A very serious discussion about one of life’s biggest questions. What actually belongs in a pick n mix?Emma comes in with milk bottles, peach rings, fizzy bubblegum bottles and chocolate peanuts. Ross backs giant gummy snakes, watermelon slices, foamy bananas and gummy turtles. Aalyn throws chaos into the mix with Jazzies (or Freckles), plus mini eggs. Strong opinions. Zero consensus.The only real question is who you would trust with your tenner at the cinema.

Kelvin and Liam go head to head in what might be the least informed history debate of all time.Liam is dropped into Rome in 200AD. Kelvin lands in London in the 1800s. From there, things spiral quickly.They debate health, quality of life, technology, fashion, philosophy and whether you would rather risk your life in the Colosseum or get stuck up someone’s chimney.Early podcast, bad facts and blind confidence all play a part here.Please do not fact check anything said in this episode. We certainly didn’t.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?In this episode of Discussing Nothing, Liam, Kelvin and Ross attempt to answer that simple question and immediately derail it. What starts with video game legends somehow turns into South American dictators, Renaissance geniuses, reality TV icons and a very confused Gary Neville.There’s absolutely no theme, no shared vibe and no chance this dinner ends well. Opinions are questioned. Choices are judged. Someone genuinely suggests Fidel Castro.This might be the worst dinner party ever put together. Or the best. We’re still not sure.

This episode is all about guessing the film from the Letterboxd review. Ross, Emma and Ben in the hot seats, trying to work out which film is being described from some very questionable reviews.Some guesses are confident. Most are completely wrong. Along the way, you’ll get a pretty clear idea of what these three actually think about your favourite films.No genre is off limits. No opinion is held back.Except Marvel films. Those are mysteriously protected. Sorry, Ross.

Aalyn and Liam sit down to face some of Ross’ most questionable would you rathers. The kind of questions no one asked for, but everyone has an opinion on. We’re talking jelly toes, permanent sand in your bed, and a steady descent into complete chaos. It starts off sensible enough. It does not stay that way. What follows is overthinking, arguing over technicalities, and taking these scenarios far more seriously than any reasonable person should. Consider this less a game and more an insight into how the YouMore brain works when left unsupervised.

Ben, Ross and Kelvin attempt to answer life’s biggest question: What’s the worst thing beginning with F?Kelvin immediately picks Fiancés, which is a bold move for a married man. He also wants Britain to stop “trying to be French” and would prefer the term “bird”. We're not sure what century he thinks we're living in.Ben goes with Frank Conversations, because nothing sparks anxiety like someone saying “can we have a frank chat later?”

Liam, Emma and Ross tackle the Best Thing Beginning with L and things go downhill immediately.Emma goes wholesome and picks Laughter.Liam goes unhinged and picks Liam - apparently believing “there is no laughter without Liam”.Ross politely questions whether Liam is a comedic genius or just a congested little freak with an inflated ego.It’s short, it’s silly, and Liam somehow roasts himself more than anyone else does.

Liam, Ross and Kelvin dive back into their childhoods to rank their Top 5 Video Games… even though Ross and Kelvin’s childhoods definitely happened sometime around the Industrial Revolution. From CoD4 and LEGO Star Wars to EyeToy and Pro Evo, this episode is pure nostalgia, pure chaos, and pure proof that everyone’s gaming upbringing was wildly different. Liam brings the modern classics, Ross brings the PS2 fever dreams, and Kelvin brings “Destroy All Humans” energy that suddenly makes a lot of sense.

Are you an empath… or an empire?Ross, Kelvin, and Jordan dive into their Top 5 Apps, and it’s every bit as chaotic as it sounds. From the essential Clock app (which you apparently can delete??) to the legendary iBeer and the “totally professional” LinkedInThe lads debate which apps truly deserve a spot on your home screen.

What’s the worst thing beginning with “E”? Kelvin goes for embarrassment (which hits especially hard when you think as highly of yourself as he does), while Ben argues for earworms, those torturous little songs that won’t leave your head. Along the way, Ross even chips in with a few embarrassing stories of his own. Cringe, laughs, and a lot of questionable singing, welcome to another episode of Discussing Nothing.

What are the top 5 animals that capture your heart or make you laugh? Emma, Ross, and Aalyn debate their favourites, from pallas cats and quokkas to stingrays and stoner koalas. Expect some surprises, some cute chaos, and maybe a debate over which animals deserve ultimate bragging rights.

Ever wondered which sounds make life surprisingly satisfying or just plain weird? Alex, Ross, and Aalyn share their top 5 sounds, from crackling fires and the perfect golf drive to the click of office mice and even popping your cheek. Some are relaxing, some are oddly specific, and a few might make you cringe (in a good way).

Krusty Krab or kettle? Jordan and Alex go head-to-head in a battle of the best things starting with K. Jordan’s devotion to the Krusty Krab leads to a grilling about his trip to try the legendary Krabby Patty, while Alex defends his humble kettle. Fun, chaotic, and slightly random, just the way we like it.

In this episode of Discussing Nothing, Ross, Jordan, and Ben dive headfirst into a surprisingly heated debate: the Top 5 buttons to press. From high-stakes machinery to nostalgic tech and oddly satisfying bus stops, the lads each bring their own chaotic energy to the table.Jordan's list takes us on a journey that includes the elegance of the car start/stop button, the underrated brilliance of the B/O button on a controller, and the oddly compelling stop button on a bus. Meanwhile, Ben stays loyal to tactile satisfaction: cassette player buttons, microwave beeps, camera shutters, and the R3 click on a PlayStation controller. Oh, and a literal kill switch on industrial machinery because nothing says "satisfying press" like immediate danger.Tune in for a ridiculous, nostalgic, and unnecessarily passionate discussion about buttons.

What's the GOAT of breakfast cereals? Emma, Ross and Aalyn dig deep into sugary nostalgia and soggy disappointment. Ross hates a cereal that can’t hold its structure. Emma is ride-or-die for anything with coco in the name. And Aalyn… has never seen the Honey Monster. Is your fave on the list?

What’s the best thing beginning with the letter J? Kelvin and Liam go head-to-head in a fierce debate: Jigglypuff vs John Cena. One can sing opponents to sleep. The other can’t be seen. Ross ends up getting Jigglypuffed. Pokemon is art. John Cena is... well, John Cena.

Is free solo climbing harder than golf?Ben (a climber) says yes. Ross and Kelvin say absolutely not. Sure, if you fall off a cliff you die. But in golf, you battle wind, grass, and existential dread. One bad bounce and it’s over. Welcome to the weirdest sports debate you didn’t know you needed.

This week on Discussing Nothing, it’s a verbal smackdown... minus the actual swears.Liam and Alex go head-to-head with their Top 5 Non-Swearing Insults from “dobber” to “yer da sells Avon.” It’s childish, It’s borderline offensive, it's the usual Discussing nothing.Warning: a few yellow cards were handed out...

Ross, Aalyn and Alex tackle one of the most important food debates of our time: the top 5 ways to eat potatoes.Alex makes a bold play with curly fries and a shout for McDonald’s hash browns (and yes—he calls lattice fries “cross cuts” like it’s normal). Aalyn keeps it classy with buttery smash and crispy wedges. Ross? He’s staying true to his Scottish roots with tattie scones and… just chips. Classic.Expect passionate opinions, unnecessary judgment, and lots of potato-based chat. How do you rank your top spud styles?

Emma and Ben go head-to-head in the battle of the worst thing beginning with D and this one gets weird. Ben feels spooky and nominates demons, arguing they represent all things haunting and evil (even if they may or may not exist). Emma, on the other hand, goes for a very real, very daily struggle: doing the dishes. But here’s the twist... Ross is the judge, and doing the dishes is actually his favourite chore. Are demons just misunderstood? Is Emma being dramatic about the dishes? And most importantly… does Casper count as a demon?

This week on Discussing Nothing, Liam and Kelvin battle it out over the best thing beginning with ‘I’—and it’s a showdown of suits vs. six legs.Liam makes a strong case for Iron Man—the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist who built a suit of armour in a cave... with a box of scraps!
