Today we get sick of waiting for Halloween and decide to use our 13th episode as an excuse to talk about scary stuff! Alex goes down a creepy YouTube rabbit hole, James sneaks into abandoned buildings and Euan celebrates the common or garden zombie. To balance out the terror, we also ruminate on one of the world’s most useless skills, the joys of ranting and how, say what you like about East 17, they’ve never made our mouths taste of earwax.

This episode gets off to a fiery start as Mark wants to ban the wearing of shorts, leading to all manner of unfortunate accusations being flung around. Once we’re all friends again, Alex tries to get over never having been a contestant on Knightmare, we rate our appendages (less dirty than it sounds) and Gavin comes up with a brilliant yet flawed solution to the eternal problem of where to store carrier bags while walking round a supermarket.

Today, the elusive Gavin finally joins us! He immediately sparks a thoughtful discussion on the ethics of laughing at someone walking into a glass pane, while Mark mysteriously loses a Sunday and Alex wants to rename artificial banana flavouring to “paffledon”. Then, after a vaguely disappointing excursion to a wonder of the ancient world, we discuss some of the best (and best worst) films ever made.

In our first sub-episode, Alex reads through the complete list so far: 79 things, ordered from best to worst. He also gives an update on the state of the podcast and shamelessly plugs his other creative projects.

Join us as we both celebrate and bemoan the start of summer! On this uncomfortably sunny day we talk about happy things like Alanna getting married, Euan’s transcendent experience with a naked guy called David, and Alex… well, Alex mostly just complains about his own disgusting body. But stick around for hot Edinburgh Fringe tips and reminiscences about magical days of doing absolutely nothing of importance (before we started this very worthwhile podcast, obviously).
