Matters of the Heart, and other Failures

E:10 - Illness, Improvements & Impetigo: Heart Progress, Hormone Highs & Glasgow’s Potato Wars


Listen Later

Episode 10 is pure, unfiltered chaos - even by Matters of the Heart (and Other Failures) standards. Fresh from an unexpected week off, Nathan and Scott dive straight into a whirlwind of disasters: a flu that left Nathan collapsed on a toilet floor, a trip to the worst stadium in Britain (“a redneck’s ranch held together with plywood”), and a shambolic World Cup draw.

Nathan reveals big heart-health news - being officially discharged from the Heart Failure Clinic - while Scott details his testosterone journey, dramatic weight loss, and that time he got translucent beard hairs. They go from gastric flus in East Kilbride to debates about cheese on toast, night-time snacking, OnlyFans cash-doms and impetigo.

There’s also a philosophical discussion about cloning Nathan after the apocalypse (terrifying), quitting booze, failing to quit smoking, and discovering a new local eatery called Spudland -which may or may not become TikTok famous.

Heart updates, health disasters, comedy festival plugs and culinary shame all collide in this brilliantly unhinged catch-up episode.
