We return far later than expected following Pete's latest sudden super-spreading move to another city and lack of time to upload this episode beforehand. No doubt said move will be discussed in a future episode, but episode 28 saw us take a deep dive into the recent documentary series 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' by Adam Curtis. This is largely down to friend of the show @aaronsage001 asking us to give our views on it, leading us to watch all 7 hours between Thursday and Sunday like the captains of industry we are.

Other than that, Pete drops a personal bombshell which can only be fully appreciated by listening to the episode. 

Take care out there, kids.

Welcome to the long-awaited (possibly by someone out there) return of the ramble. After three months away, Pete must have matters of great pith and moment to discuss with our beloved audience. Well, it turns out that isn't the case, as he describes the dog muck problem in his local area, before sharing a nonecdote about a toddler picking up a giant turd in Switzerland in 2016. 

Listen to Pete's thoughts on his 'chip shop kampf,' The Dom Jolly Renaissance, penises 'going south' and dealing with childhood trauma through the age old treatment of kicking a football around. 

That's your f(Ph)ill.

Welcome one and all to episode 25, which is probably episode 26 or 27 if counting the 'lost episodes', which we're not.  As seems to be our new custom for season 3, we begin the episode wondering the age of Pete's bowels and Leigh questions his '6 a week' tonic water habit.  We delve into a mini tech special at Leigh's behest as he explains his online privacy concerns, which Pete unceremoniously waves off as mostly paranoia.  Pete baulks at the possibility of Leigh receiving a blue tick for his professional Twitter account. We wonder if it's possible to call in bomb threats now everyone is working from home, and then onto the Swedish penal system. Sort of. Leigh has a fascinating idea for Pete to livestream his reaction to old TV shows via Twitch, something Pete definitely hasn't discussed on the podcast at least 15 times. Could Pete soon be 'twitching over' Big Break (see passim...again)? The legendary missing member of Kraftwerk, Anal Schwabb, gets a mention as we for some reason delve into the murky world of Pete's recent STI test.  Would you buy a hipster beer called Camden Brolly? If so, Pete probably hates you. In time-honoured tradition we finish with Pete's weekly nonecdote and a rapid overview of his time as a chubby bookseller at Ottaker's bookshop (liquidated) and Chichester Technical College (still operating).  On behalf of the enthusiasts we've left in a section of the audio where only Pete can be heard due to a technical difficulty on Leigh's part, largely because Leigh couldn't be naffed to edit it out.

We're very excited to introduce a brand new addition to the Every Day A New Nadir stable - Two Lads Talking About Football On A Podcast On the Internet (or TLTAFOPOTI)! For the opener we discuss Pete's misspent youth watching Chelsea play mediocre football in the mid-1990s, whilst his brother spent Saturdays becoming cultured in the art galleries of London.  We delve into the commodification and debasement of the beautiful game in recent years. Given Spurs were the original 'floater' team way back in the 1980s, is the marketisation of the game all that recent phenomena? A lengthy discussion on racism, misogyny, and classism in football and across society more widely ensues, leading us to one very powerful conclusion - fuck Sue Barker.  Stay tuned for details of Pete's forthcoming cricket spin-off - One Lad Talks About Cricket On A Podcast Over The Internet (OLTACOPOTI)!

It's the moment you (well, our friend Rob) have been waiting for...It's been 6+ years since Pete last recorded a regular podcast, now lost to the 'anals' of history, with his old school chum Aaron, who joins as this week's guest host!

The Aaron and Pete podcast ran between the years 2011 - 2014 and as this week's show kicks off discussing Pete's chronic bowel issues, it's like we've never been away. We wonder if suffering chronic wind constitutes the ultimate means of social distancing? 

We move from discussing deep space and the possible connection between Pete's bowel issues and theoretical extraterrestrial life on Venus to Aaron's relationship HECK and absconsion soon after moving in with his partner. 

Aaron makes the wild claim he's being followed by Val Kilmer on Twitter,  which Pete takes at face value during the show. The most cursory of checks of Aaron's follower list post-recording suggests the claim to be bullshine of the highest order. Yet, that doesn't stop us from dreaming about Aaron's potential future living in LA as Kilmer's personal illustrator!

Aaron raises the thorny issue of Pete's predilection for plastering social media with selfies in a manner only a friend  can - a form of gentle 'intervention' in a way. Pete blames his vanity on insecurity instilled on him from a young age when women wouldn't touch him with a fouled stick. Was being turned down to join a short-lived teenage boy-band for not being good looking enough where it all went wrong for him in life? Does the ephemeral nature of beauty increase its poignancy? Or is Pete, at the end of the day, a conceited tit?

It wouldn't be an episode of Everyday A New Nadir without pornography being discussed ad nauseam. Is TikTok making hardcore pornography redundant? What can we learn about human porn addiction from male rats? Why do women regularly contact Pete on social media and send him unsolicited nudes? Is it his 'silver tongue', or as Aaron proposes, silver thumb?

We end the show co-devising a bowel themed Haiku, which sums up the tone of things nicely. 

Don't panic, the other fella will be back next time!
