Trigger Talks

This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, things take a strange turn as the lads dive headfirst into what you lot have been listening to—and honestly… they’re not sure how to feel about it.From people trying to improve their work-life balance and climb the career ladder (questionable behaviour, apparently), to the bizarre world of cat music therapy, things only get weirder. There’s talk of ending long-term relationships—which Kensai takes very personally—and somehow it spirals into skin picking, hypnosis, and other corners of the internet that probably should’ve stayed undiscovered.Naturally, no episode would be complete without a detour across the pond, as Trigger and Kensai once again question America’s baffling inability to make a proper cup of tea—or even understand what a kettle is.On a more serious (but still slightly chaotic) note, Trigger announces his new venture: Triggered at Midwicket—a podcast covering everything from the hilarious side of cricket to proper analysis of the pro game, with a special appreciation for the beauty of village cricket.They wrap things up with a surprisingly real discussion tackling health myths, including a candid conversation around rising throat cancer rates and what’s actually behind it.As always: dark humour, sharp takes, plenty of mick-taking, and absolutely no filter.

This week on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai, the Convict returns—and this time, it’s personal.He opens up about his ongoing battle with social services as he fights to get his kids back, diving into the frustrations, setbacks, and what he sees as deep-rooted issues within the system. From being forced to complete parenting courses in prison, to coming out, getting a stable job and home, and then having to jump through the same hoops all over again—he asks the question: what more do they actually want from him?Kensai listens in disbelief, trying to make sense of it all while demolishing a Greek chicken gyros and oregano chips, and Trigger doesn’t hold back—digging into the Convict’s mental health, mindset, and what his true end goal really is.It’s raw, it’s honest, and at times it’s heavy—but as always, there’s no shortage of dark humour, mick-taking, and unfiltered conversation.Real talk. No scripts. No holding back. Only on Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai.

This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai dive headfirst into cinematic chaos. Trigger gives his unfiltered verdict on Thrash, Netflix’s latest shark horror, tearing into its endless plot holes—including the now-infamous scene where an iPhone survives a flash flood… only to start blasting “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton at the most convenient moment imaginable.From there, the rant continues as the guys unpack Hollywood’s wildest logic fails, questionable writing choices, and those baffling moments that somehow made it to the final cut. They revisit low-rated films like Deep Blue Sea, and the strange trend of big-name actors showing up in movies that critics absolutely tore apart.TikTok brings the laughs this week too, with Americans visiting the UK providing unintentional comedy gold—from struggling to find “chives” in Sainsbury's, to confusion over the store’s “fashion” section, and even discovering what might be the worst biscuits on the shelves (yes, McVitie's shortcake is under fire).And just when you think things are wrapping up smoothly, Kensai does it again—somehow mixing up Gok Wan and Ken Hom like it’s become a contractual obligation at this point.As always, it’s chaotic, it’s ridiculous, and completely unfiltered

This week on Unfiltered with Trigger & Kensai, things kick off with Kensai holding his hands up—issuing a full apology for some harsh, rude and ignorant comments aimed at Trigger and the diabetic community. It’s honest, it’s needed… and it sets the tone for a properly unpredictable episode.From there, the lads lighten things up by dreaming big—what would they actually do if they won the EuroMillions lottery? Expect chaos, questionable investments, and zero financial responsibility.The internet delivers again as they react to an American TikToker attempting to rate UK biscuits… only to accidentally review Weetabix—which, as discussed, is very much not a biscuit.Things then go completely off the rails as Kensai unveils his “genius” redesign of the faulty toilet aboard Artemis program, taking aim at astronauts, space travel, and the reality of what’s actually on the dark side of the moon (spoiler: it’s not the Blackpool Illuminations). There’s also a bold proposal involving Scandinavians as ideal moon candidates, plus a tongue-in-cheek take on astronauts photographing Earth to prove it’s round.And just when you think it couldn’t get stranger, the lads dive into one of the most bizarre stories yet—bread made using yeast from a human infection—before somehow linking it back to medieval torture devices like the rack and wedge.To wrap things up, a big welcome goes out to all the new listeners tuning in from around the world, including Israel, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and across South America.Unpredictable, unfiltered, and completely chaotic—just the way you like it.

This week on Unfiltered, Trigger, Jonny and Sophie take a deep dive into the state of English cricket—starting with the much-debated fall of “Bazball” under Brendon McCullum and what it means for the future of the game.Despite a disastrous winter for the England cricket team, Brendon McCullum, Rob Key and Ben Stokes have all retained their roles—sparking mixed emotions among fans. The trio unpack the frustration, loyalty, and big questions around whether sticking or twisting is the right call.They get into what an ideal coaching setup would actually look like, from mentality to structure, before diving into the often-overlooked world of selectors. Trigger shares his own experience applying for the England selectors role and puts Jonny and Sophie on the spot with the same three questions he faced: what attributes they’d look for in a Test player, what role data and analysis should play in the selection process, and how they’d approach communicating selection decisions to the media.To round things off on a more positive note, the focus shifts to what’s ahead: the buzz around the County Championship, the global excitement of the Indian Premier League, the ever-divisive The Hundred, and a big summer of Test cricket with England taking on New Zealand national cricket team and Pakistan national cricket team.Analysis, opinions, and plenty of debate—it’s all here on Unfiltered.

This week, Unfiltered with Trigger & Kensai goes exactly where you’d expect—and then some. The lads dive straight into the media storm surrounding Scott Mills and the wider role of BBC, questioning narratives, accountability, and how stories are shaped.From there, things get heavier as they tackle the uncomfortable realities of celebrity scandals—covering crime, unfaithfulness, and the public’s obsession with both.The conversation then shifts into a raw and unfiltered breakdown of sexism vs misogyny, and whether both misogyny and misandry are spiralling in today’s society—sparking a real debate on where the lines are and who’s being heard.And because no topic is off-limits, they wrap up with a wide-angle look at the world right now: the fuel crisis, rising cost of living, MPs getting pay rises, and the surreal contrast of global conflict alongside humanity pushing further into space.It’s opinionated, it’s unapologetic, and it’s exactly what Unfiltered is all about.

This week, Kensai steps into a whole new chapter—navigating life as a newly single man and sharing the highs (and stresses) of buying his very first house solo. From independence to unexpected realities, it’s all on the table.Meanwhile, Trigger gears up for the upcoming cricket season, giving insight into pre-season training, the art of ground preparation, and the not-so-glamorous side of the sport—including a suspected broken toe that might already be testing his commitment.To round things off, Trigger takes us through his weekend at a country-to-country music festival, bringing stories, standout moments, and whether it lived up to the hype.It’s a mix of life changes, sport, and a bit of chaos—just how we like it.

This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai talk travel as they start planning their next adventures. Kensai shares his excitement about a future trip to Japan, diving into the culture, history, and the must-see places he’s hoping to explore. Meanwhile, Trigger looks ahead to a getaway in Malta, discussing the island’s incredible historical roots, Mediterranean vibes, and the kinds of experiences that make it such a unique holiday destination.The duo also chat about practical things to think about when travelling—from planning and budgeting to health considerations—while Trigger opens up about the extra challenges of flying as someone living with Type 1 Diabetes and the preparations that come with it.We also give a warm welcome to listeners tuning in from Ukraine 🇺🇦—thank you for joining the Unfiltered community—and take a moment to wish all the amazing mums out there a happy Mother’s Day. 💐Plus, the guys share stories from their recent day out seeing comedians Randy Feltface and Brodi Snook, breaking down the laughs, the atmosphere, and why live comedy still hits differently.Travel dreams, real-life challenges, and a lot of laughs—just the way Unfiltered likes it. 🎙️✈️

In this special Unfiltered episode for International Women’s Day, Trigger is joined by Mama Trig and Sophie for a powerful conversation celebrating the women who helped shape the world we live in today.From influential figures in history to groundbreaking leaders, innovators, and activists, the trio discuss famous women whose contributions changed society—and why so many of their stories still aren’t widely taught or recognised. They explore why both men and women should know more about these pioneers and how education systems could do more to highlight the achievements of women who helped build the modern world.The conversation also reflects on the women who have influenced their own lives, the importance of representation, and how understanding these stories can inspire future generations.Insightful, thoughtful, and celebratory, this episode of Unfiltered shines a light on the women whose legacies continue to shape our world—and why their stories deserve to be told. 💜🎙️

On this episode of Unfiltered Trigger and Kensai... The lads unpack the weight that comes with the word “man.” What does it really mean today? Is modern masculinity evolving—or are we still carrying expectations we never chose?The guys dive into fatherhood, emotional responsibility, and the contrast between growing up as millennials versus the different pressures facing Gen Z men. From inherited beliefs to intentional change, this is an honest conversation about breaking cycles while building something better for the next generation.We also send love to our listeners tuning in from Oman, the UAE, and Indonesia—your support means the world.And because growth journeys are never smooth… Kensai adds yet another chapter to his legendary tyre saga after driving home from his latest D&D quest. At this point, we’re not sure if he’s battling dragons or just battling his wheels.Real talk. Real laughs. Real life.This is Unfiltered.

Bowling mastermind Tyler and batting sensation Sophie step into the selector’s chair for their boldest challenge yet — building the world’s best all-format cricket squad from the golden era of 1980 to 2009.From the dominance of Wasim Akram and the mastery of Muttiah Muralitharan, to the elegance of Sachin Tendulkar and the match-winning aura of Jacques Kallis, they debate, argue, and analyze which legends deserve a place in a team designed to dominate across Tests, ODIs, and T20s.Can the explosive brilliance of Viv Richards overpower today’s tactical precision? Would the composure of Ricky Ponting stand tall against modern bowling attacks? And which bowlers would they trust to rattle the stumps of today’s greats like Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson?This episode is packed with heated debates, nostalgic throwbacks, tactical breakdowns, and a final XI that might just spark controversy among cricket purists.Who makes the cut? Who misses out? And could this all-era squad truly conquer the modern game?Tune in for the ultimate cricketing time clash. 🏏

This week on Unfiltered, Trigger and Kensai dive head-first into the strange, confusing, and downright ridiculous world of sporting rules and scoring systems.Why does Formula One give you points for finishing 10th but not 11th? Why is “love” actually zero in ATP Tour scoring? Who decided a try in Rugby World Cup is worth five but a conversion is two? And how did National Football League invent a sport where you can score 2, 3, 6, or 1 point — sometimes all in the same minute?From birdies and bogeys in PGA Tour, to confusing run rates in international cricket, to the chaos of technical fouls in the National Basketball Association, the boys attempt (and struggle) to break down how scoring actually works — and question whether any of it makes sense.Expect hot takes, questionable explanations, and at least one moment where Trigger confidently explains something completely wrong.If you’ve ever watched sport and thought, “Why is it like this?” — this one’s for you.Unfiltered. Unqualified. Unapologetic.

Soph joins Trigger and Kensai for a blind reaction challenge as they’re thrown headfirst into ranking 10 British national treasures — with zero prep and plenty of strong opinions. Along the way, things spiral into a very honest chat about unhealthy eating habits, the rise of so-called “healthy” vitamin drinks, and whether any of them are actually doing us any favours. To top it off, we give you a sneak peek at next week’s episode, where we dive into some of the most unusual and confusing points-scoring systems in sport. Expect laughs, questionable takes, and the kind of conversations that only happen when no one knows what’s coming next.Where do you rank these 10 British icons, let us know on our socials or leave a comment below

Trigger and Kensai kick things off by unpacking a very suspicious request from a would-be podcaster looking to join the show — red flags, weird money talk, and why some offers are absolutely too good to be true. That spirals into a broader conversation on modern money scams, bank fraud, and how easy it is to get caught if you’re not paying attention. Just when things get serious, the episode takes a sharp turn into national treasures, what we should actually be protecting, and a slightly unhinged update on Kensai’s hap-hazard tyre replacement after his recent puncture. Educational, opinionated, and only mildly road-unsafe.

This episode, co-host Kensai takes us through the daily grind and the unexpected wins—school traffic drama, the nightmare of a flat tyre, and the surprisingly epic story of his very first Dungeons & Dragons event. From real-world frustrations to rolling dice and rolling with it, it’s a classic Kensai journey you don’t want to miss.

Scott joins the show for a deep dive into what it really takes to build ideas from scratch. From launching his own clothing brand to developing two unique apps—Parrot Pal, and Turtle Mehtod, apps made for fitness, wellbeing and lifestyle—Scott’s story is a masterclass in creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurial instinct.In this episode, we explore:How he turned a simple clothing concept into a fully realised brandThe inspiration behind Parrot Pal and TurtleThe mindset shifts that helped him navigate risk, doubt, and growthWhat he’s learned about building products people actually wantWhy starting small is often the smartest move

The festive period is a minefield of awkward moments, and New Year’s just adds alcohol and expectations. From countdown disasters to Christmas day cringe, this episode celebrates the moments that didn’t go to plan — but make great stories now.

England’s Ashes campaign is over, and the urn remains firmly in Australian hands after a bruising 4–1 series defeat. In this episode, we unpack how it unravelled: the moments of promise, the tactical missteps, and the performances that defined the series for better and worse. Was this a step forward despite the scoreline, or a reality check against a ruthless Australian side? We assess the captaincy, the bowlers’ workload, the batting inconsistencies, and what this result means for the future of English Test cricket. Honest reflections, hard questions, and where England go next.

Part 2 goes deeper. Trigger and Kensai reflect on the year, the purpose behind the podcast, and what they hope to build moving forward. From lessons learned to goals for the future, this Christmas special closes out with honesty, perspective, and a clear vision for what’s next—unfiltered, as always.

It’s the holiday season, and we’re unwrapping the story behind Unfiltered with Trigger and Kensai. In Part 1 of this Christmas special, Trigger and Kensai have the tables turned and answer your questions, share their backgrounds, and talk about the experiences that shaped who they are. Expect real conversations, laughs, and unfiltered moments as we kick things off holiday-style.

Australia have seized early control of the Ashes with a 2–0 advantage. We revisit the opening two Tests, assess individual performances on both sides, and look ahead to the next three tests, where England must respond to bring home the urn

Budgets can be boring… but not this one. Join us as we unravel the UK Budget with humour, common sense, and just enough nerdiness to make you feel smarter by the end. We dive into who’s getting a boost, who’s tightening their belts, and how the government’s latest money moves could hit your everyday life.

In this episode, we take a time-traveling deep dive into what it really means to be born in two very different eras: the 1940s and the 1990s. From the echoes of World War II to the rise of the digital age, we explore how daily life, culture, technology, careers, relationships, and expectations have transformed across eight decades.Listeners will hear how someone born in the 1940s grew up in a world defined by rationing, rotary phones, neighborhood-first communities, and the birth of rock ’n’ roll—alongside the optimism and rebuilding that shaped mid-century life. Then we fast-forward to the 1990s, an era of dial-up internet, cable TV, early gaming consoles, and an explosion of pop culture, setting the stage for a generation that would navigate the shift from analog childhoods to fully digital adulthoods.We unpack how attitudes about work, money, privacy, and identity have evolved from 1945 to 2025. How did we get from handwritten letters to instant messages, from local jobs to remote work, from traditional social norms to a hyper-connected global culture?Join us for a thoughtful, entertaining look at the defining forces that shaped these two generations—and what their differences reveal about how fast the world can change. Whether you’re nostalgic for the past or fascinated by the future, this episode bridges the decades and brings the story of modern life into focus
