Episodes

  1. Episode 95 – Monkey Fudge

    There’s a fair bit of cheese chat in the episode, not planned, but in the spirit of transparency we feel it only fair to warn you upfront. Al surprises everyone by actually delivering on a promise he made once upon a time, Dean discloses his bean blindness diagnoses, and we talk lies. Dirty…

  2. Episode 94 – Drive Angry

    Pressure. Pushing down on you, pressing down on me…no man ask for. Not our words, but the words of uber legends Freddie Mercury and David Bowie. Although, I’m not sure how much road rage they experienced from the comfort of their chauffeur driven limousines. But what a song, eh? A mixed bag this...

  3. Episode 93 – Goodbye Ozzy

    The words National Treasure are becoming an increasingly overused phrase, usually reserved for aging Dames and Great British Bake-off presenters. But the passing of a real legend reminds us of the true meaning this title, and the outpouring of grief, love and adoration on the sad news of Ozzy...

  4. Episode 92 – 28 Beers Later

    Whether it’s a barren Zombie infested wasteland, or an aging 80’s TV presenter, there’s always something waiting around the corner to bleed you dry. Not a happy thought but a life lesson non-the -less. So, yeah…think on that. Oh…and Dean shoots a duck. So, make mine a Guiness, but whatever you...

  5. Episode 91 – Don’t Start With The A-Hole

    Hello! How have you been? Ah…sorry to hear that, but enough about you. We’ve got a bumper podcast to get through so strap in. Allen tells us about his trip to Alton Towers, and what rides he chickened out from. Pete uncovers the latest about the new Universal Theme park due to open this Summer in...

  6. Episode 90 – Gladiators Ready!

    Friends…Listeners…Podcasters…Lend us your lugholes! That, dear listeners, is the war cry of someone who’s just watched Gladiator 2, or II, if you’re of the TikTok generation. And as we walk, wearily, away from the blood drenched sands of the colosseum, our attentions are once again drawn to the...

  7. Episode 89 – Jazz Cabbage

    If you go down to the woods today you may be in for a big surprise…but if you hear the distant sound of a duelling banjo then you’d better get out of there sharpish. Yes, that’s right, Dean’s watched Deliverance for the first time! And staying with the theme of things that are dead old, we’re...

  8. Episode 88 – The Days Of Yawn

    From Penguins to dancing bears, this episode has it all. Think Harrison Ford went off the boil after Temple of Doom? Think Again. Think Al would make a good Robin Hood? You’re wrong. But if you’re thinking that the guys have seen a bucket load of movies and box sets to mull over in Deano’s…

  9. Episode 87 – Marvel Jesus

    I’m going be straight up with you, this episode may be a little Marvel heavy for the casual listener. But let’s be honest, if you’re still listening 87 episodes in then you know what to expect. But it isn’t all about Deadpool & Wolverine. There’s also Olympics chat, Trans sports musings,...

  10. Episode 86 – Across The Pooniverse

    Yes, we can talk about the heroic efforts of the England squad in the Euros. Yes, we can talk about our high hopes for Deadpool & Wolverine. But all of this, surely, pales into insignificance when compared to the sheer heft of Deano’s snoring problem. Listen and learn. We also throw into the mix...

  11. Episode 85 – Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals

    It’s that time of year again. Doesn’t it half come round quick!? That time when we all say that it’s doesn’t feel at all Christmassy. But its here so deal with it. So, to continue the un-festive feel, this episode sees Pete talk about his trip to Mexico, Dean has a fall and Allen…well…Al does…

    more
  12. Episode 84 – Living In Eternia

    What are sweetbreads? What is a Bisto dip? Does Eternia have a DFS? These are just some of the questions asked in this meaty episode as Pete gets busy chomping on a cows face, Dean tries to buy Slipknot tickets and Al discovers, much to his horror, what Haggis is really made from. It’s truly…

    more
  13. Episode 83 – Nutty Putty Hell Hole

    There are many ways to go. Most of us would like to think that we’ll slip away in our sleep at a ripe old age, surrounded by family and loved ones. But some, misguided, adventurous fools, will die screaming while being nadgered by a shark, or fall head first into a one-way chasm of death. Not us.…

  14. Episode 82 - The Tube Nut Whisperer

    There’s nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to handle his tool. A man who knows his Tube Nuts from his flange bolt thingy. Yes, creating fire from scratch can be impressive, but can you use a bubble wotsit to sort that wonky shelf? No? That’s what Dads are for. So, with that said, we...

  15. Episode 81 - Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

    Now look here. DGO are not ones to preach (much), but now and again there are important topics that need to be addressed and the stigma around men getting their prostate checked is one such issue. Yes…we’ve gone there. But it’s not all serious back door talk. There’s also movie reviews, Hedgehog...

  16. Episode 80 – The Big Five

    In order for any society to thrive there needs to be stability, an order to things. You can’t have people changing things willy-Nilly, making up their own rules and challenging the Status Quo when they feel like it. Well, you can when it’s absolutely necessary, but some things are not up for…

  17. Episode 79 – The Devil’s Glow Sticks

    Want to hear Dean talk about his trip to New York? “Fuhgeddaboudit!” Want to hear Allen’s secret to making the perfect ‘slaw’? “Hey! I’m walking here!” This episode has these, and other bits, cleverly edited together to make them sort of make sense. We’re talking parking ticket Hell, whale sperm...

  18. Episode 78 – Oh, The Hugh Manatee!

    Birthdays are something to celebrate. Whether you go for a family meal, a classy wine tasting or a naked bungee jump in the Aldi carpark, they should be treasured. Especially when you get to the age of these three codgers. As Dean marks his milestone, we also hear of his interest, and complete...

  19. Episode 77 – A Henchman’s Gonna Hench

    “I’ll be back.” “Get to the chopper!” “I did not get my maid pregnant.” These are just a few quotes from arguably one of the greatest action stars, and indeed Arnolds, of all time…Schwarzenegger! From his best bangers to his worst clangers, we hear the guys favourites and guilty pleasures. You…

  20. Episode 76 - The Frothy B'stard

    We all love walking into our favourite pub. The friendly barman / woman pouring you a well-earned pint of your usual / small sherry, putting your favourite song on the jukebox, pig snacks in hand waiting for the wave machine to start. Bliss! This episode sees the boys discuss their dream pubs,...

  21. Episode 75 – Tutankhamoooon!

    This episode takes us to the land of the Pharaohs, the Great Pyramids…The home of the Mummy! What is an Egypt? We’ll find out. In other matters, Allen suffers a dirty great spider bite, but unfortunately is not imbued with the super-powers of a spider…although he did get stuck in the bath for…

  22. Episode 74 - Kiss Of The Vampire

    As Dean and Pete say goodbye to their long time top band Kiss (for the second time), and Allen laments on the demise of The Arctic Monkeys, our thought take a darker turn. We hark back to those late nights, many years ago, when your parents let you stay up past your bedtime to watch the Fright...

  23. Episode 73 – Talking about A.I, Aye Eye?

    Have ever had the feeling that you’re not alone? That someone might be listening in to your conversations? Ever wondered how you only have to mention to someone that you might be thinking of buying a new pair of trainers, only to find your social media feeds flooded with ads for shiny new…

  24. Episode 72 – Death Race

    We all remember our first car. Whether it was a rusty old hand me down, or brand new straight of the garage forecourt, the bond with your first motor is one that you take to the grave. Unless you die in a fireball crash on the M6 motorway…then you can be forgiven if the relationship cools a…

  25. Episode 71 - Skool Daze

    For some, school was an idyllic time, full of laughter, games and an enjoyable way to quench that never-ending thirst for knowledge. For others it was grim prison sentence, full of forgotten homework, painful wedgie’s and an unparalleled awkwardness around girls. Either way, it’s over now, so we...

  26. Episode 70 – The Bucket List

    As we creep every closer to our inevitable demise, let us reflect on what we have achieved. Some of us, I’m sure would have done great things, seen unimaginable sights, traveled the globe and will rest easy knowing that they have made the world a better place for those that follow. And then there...

  27. Episode 69 – Bad To The Bone

    As a controversial Pop megastar once asked…Who’s bad? Some might answer “You Michael”, while other, blindly optimistic, people would look to the wide, wide world of TV and film for their answer. And well they might, as we all love a good baddie. From Bond to Coronation Street there are hundreds…

  28. Episode 68 – Beef Encounters Of The Herd Kind

    Look…We’ve all got holes in our pop cultural education. Admit it. Have you ever pretended to like a band you’ve never heard of, or a film you’ve never seen? Of course you have…and so have your friends. Yes. ESPECIALLY that one! So let’s sit down, hold hands and come clean (within reason obvs)…

  31. Episode 65 – Four Footlongs and A Warwick Davis

    In this LONG awaited epidsode we talk space. Deep space and what might (or might not) be floating around in it. Could there be life on Mars?

  33. Episode 63 - Eye Of The Tatter

    The week we lost Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (Mam as in jam), the guys take time to reflect on what was, to some, a fittingly right Royal send off, but to others a huge waste of tax payers money in a time of financial crisis and uncertainty. Which camp are we pitching our tents? But it’s not…

  34. Episode 62 – Who Killed Jimmy Snugglehorn?

    Whether you’re a horror fiend, a thriller killer or an unashamed dirty Rom-Com whore there’s a movie genre for everyone. But what if we can’t have them all?

  35. Episode 61 – Feel The Weft

    What do YOU do when you think no-one’s looking? That’s disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself, but in this latest episode the guys talk about what they do, and although nowhere near as bad as what you get up to…it’s still pretty weird. Mannequin molestation? We talk big screen too. Al...

  36. Episode 60 – The Great Flamingo Nobblings

    As we remember the late Taylor Hawkins, Al tries to differentiate between a Flamingo and a Pelican (It was neither) and Pete discovers what QAnon is all about, we turn to the silver screen for solace.

  37. Episode 59 – A Piece Of The Action

    In uncertain times it’s good to take a look back at happier, safer times.
