We're back with what is, largely, a more sober (literally), thoughtful affair. That doesn't mean there isn't a solid 10-15 minutes of nonsense if that's your kind of thing.  Episode 12 asks when Pete will be cancelled and we can only assume sooner, rather than later. Plans are afoot for a 'Lady Special' to up our female listener-ship and the possibility of an episode recorded by Pete LIVE from Ghana. Our valued listeners are treated to an update on Pete's SBS (see passim) and his very solemn treatment of the news of a death in Leigh's family (ages ago).  These grandiose preliminaries make way for the real meat 'n' potatoes of the pod - is British journalism fucked? The question is raised in response to this mad Guardian article; https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/08/imagine-the-state-wed-be-in-if-corbyn-had-been-in-charge-the-view-from-the-red-wall  After discussing how out of touch The Guardian is, we move on to that other failing British institution, the crumbling 'broad church' that is The Labour Party.  Sorry. 

Following the loss of The Pub Day Special (episode 10) to everyone bar Japanese bootleggers comes the meandering mess that is episode 11. A mildly surly Leigh resigns himself to another 45 minutes of Pete’s babbling brook of bullshit. This week with added talking over one another!

We tantalise our dear listeners' lugholes with a Smörgåsbord of aural delights, including;

Wondering who is listening in Oman, what our life as Omani celebrities might be like and can Pete drive there?

The similarities between Pete and P Diddy.

Peter Stringfellow (and his stolen carpets) - in memoriam.

The Tax and Income Special - how the British state chased Leigh to China for the princely sum of £127 and Pete ‘earned’ a month’s salary from Homebase never having done a day’s work for the company.

The age Pete discovered what a ‘Scooby Snack’ is (30).

Sean Hannity the ‘steak ‘n’ butter’ alpha male.

Pete’s asbestos joys and how TEFL courses gave Leigh cancer.

Finally, our proud announcement Every Day A New Nadir will henceforth be sponsored by DOW Chemical (a Dupont corporation).

You lucky sods!

Episode 9 makes a brave, long overdue attempt to de-stigmatise the living hell that is Sweaty Back Syndrome (SBS). We explore the potential health benefits of semen smoothies and wonder whether money laundering for drug cartels could offer a lucrative revenue stream for the podcast. Pete considers a possible career move into the tech industry working for OpenAI and offers life advice to Mark Zuckerberg. Baba booey.

Breaking the law.

Breaking the law.

Pete's breaking the law. 

We are back. We haven't got any better at this. Sound quality has marginally improved.  We discuss the coronavirus. Because there is nothing else to talk about.
