Episodes

  1. 030 - What's Wrong with the Audio? w/Luka Muller

    This episode Luke absolutely fucked it tbh and his recording got corrupted so his audio on this is very bad. But Luka Muller is still coming through loud and clear and is much funnier than Luke so it's still worth a listen. Our bad lol.

  2. 029 - What's Wrong with You? w/Nick Carr

    This episode Paul and Luke are joined by our first return guest, our good friend Nick Carr! It's a fun ep and whatever, but the most important thing is that I spent way too long on a frankly average photoshopped image for this ep, so if you don't follow us on social media you should change that…

  3. 028 - What's Infected?

    This episode we revisit an old segment to see what is hot, and what is not. The answer may surprise you! It almost definitely won't, but I guess it might?

  4. 027 - What's Facebook?

    This episode Paul kicks things off with a real 'bang', assuming you're willing to be pretty generous with the term.

  5. 026 - What's Mystic?

  10. 021 - Xmas in July

    This week Paul and Luke are celebrating Xmas... in July!? Well that was the intention but things immediately go off the rails and we talk about ghosts and get a bit existential.

  13. 018 - Holiday Spectacular

    This week Paul and Luke are about to go on holiday, so all the stories are about holidays! Imagine if you went on holiday and someone broke into your house and cleaned it! That'd be pretty fucked! Look honestly I'm leaving for Thailand in like three days and in my head I've already left so I am...

  14. 017 - Linda Smith Please Come On Our Podcast
