Discussing Nothing

IKEA, the wonderful everyday. If you've been to IKEA you'll know it's a great place worthy of a day trip in its own right. Now let your mind run wild and think about all the amazing and magical things you could get up to if stuck there for 24 hours!

Who knows what mischief and adventures could be had within the confines of that giant warehouse containing every room in your house and more.

Like kids let loose in a sweet shop, or a bull charging around a china shop, hear what Ross and Tristan have to say on the matter.

We all love supermarkets, right?

WRONG! If we're being honest, we love some supermarkets and hate others. With this in mind, we wound up Alex and Ross and let them go hell for leather to rank the UK's supermarket chains from best to worst.

Will Tesco trump all? Will Asda get assassinated? Will Somerfield be forgotten about completely? Yes, obviously. No one's gone to Somerfield since Hot Huzz.

Anyway, there has to be one supermarket to rule them all. What will it be?

Let's go to the beach, beach... Unless it's a first date. Then stay away at ALL. COSTS.

What's the worst possible first date? That's the puzzle we're trying to piece together on this week's episode.

Whether it's an awkward 120 minutes of silence through some gore-filled film or a boring wait in the multi-activity centre known as the "car garage", team YouMore discuss all sorts of scenarios you wouldn't want to find yourself in on your quest for romance.

People say they'd do anything for love, but after listening to this podcast we're sure you'll reconsider...

We say the craziest things, don't we? "It's raining cats and dogs", "pushing an elephant up the stairs", "they've got a chip on their shoulder", and so on.

Now, imagine if these sayings were literally true and join team YouMore to discuss what life would be like... If you dare.

At YouMore, we get our minds blown by things on a pretty regular basis. So can you imagine what the modern era would do to the primitive, peanut-sized mind of a caveman?

That's the nothing on discussion today - what would blow a caveman's mind the most if they were alive today?

How would they cope not having to fight and scrap for every meal? What would they think of people over the age of 25 (a near impossibility in the Stone Age)? Would their rock-hardened features melt on contact with a memory foam mattress?

Find out how the Flintstones would cope in the 21st century with team YouMore!

They Ask, You Answer? No - Aalyn Asks, We Answer.

We coaxed our resident introvert in front of the camera once more, and she has some pressing questions on her mind that need clarification. So who did she come to for answers? That's right - three wise men. Alex, Jordan and Tristan are tasked with solving age-old conundrums like "how do you say hello?", "how do you say goodbye?" and "do you look people in the eye when you're talking to them?"

Have you thought of these questions before? Probably not. But if you have then boy oh boy you're in for a treat!

Come Whine With Me at Jordan's lack of grace and decorum during his fantasy dinner date with Tristan. Bringing your own bottle is one thing, but have you heard of bringing your own kettle?

Jordan treats Tristan to a selection of his finest margarines, whilst Tristan sets the mood with some dim lighting, cool jazz and an all-night session of Risk. Is it easy to spot who's trying to impress who, and who has all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tires on?

What a sad little life, Jordan...

This episode is best enjoyed with visual accompaniment, where you can see Jordan attempt to draw Alex and Aalyn's wonderful designs on a whiteboard.

This week Aalyn gets in front of the Discussing Nothing cameras for the first time to give her opinion on our most pressing issue to date. The task? To design a single tool that can be used for all your kitchen-based needs. But wait - there's more. Jordan will be attempting to draw each of the designs according to the descriptions given by Alex and Aalyn, only revealing his work for judgement at the end!

Take a look and decide for yourself how easy these implements would be to use - I'm not sure too much cooking would get done!

Discussing Nothing is renowned for answering the questions we've all got on our minds, and this week's edition is no different. The question? If you could inherit the powers of any animal just from it biting you (i.e. Spider Man), what animal would you choose? Would you want the speed of a cheetah? The mesmeric voice of a nightingale? Perhaps a mouth as big as that of a blue whale? Check out what Alex, Tristan, Jordan and Aalyn have to say on the matter - it's as insightful and high-brow as ever!

Could you live without coffee? Would you live without coffee? What lengths would you go to in order to get your hit were coffee to become illegal tomorrow?

A world without coffee. This is the terrifying reality that manifested itself in the imaginations of team YouMore this week, on the latest edition of Discussing Nothing. A reality filled with bean dealers, where the smell of coffee roasting hangs in the air of dodgy neighbourhoods, and cocaine is no longer the most dangerous export from Colombia.

If you're a coffee nut you'll want to hear what Alex and Jordan have to say on this subject. Who's to say that coffee won't become illegal in the future? When that day comes, this podcast will act as something of a survival guide, and you'll thank Discussing Nothing for saving your life.
