  • Ep19: Issey Moloney

    One of the UK's top ten content creators is our guest this week as she tells Vix and Paul all about her spending habits - and, actually, her very sensible saving habits!


    She tells us why she already has a pension plans at 17 (!), why she got banned from a taxi company, and does her very best (sadly unsuccessfully) to persuade Paul to join Tik Tok...

  • Ep18: Maisie Adam

    One of our favourite comedians Maisie Adam is our guest this week as she tells Vix and Paul about her spending habits - from cool vintage clothing to poor mattress choices - and what can only be described as an hilarious debacle involving party cannons.


    Plus we learn all about a product called a Tablebed. Whatever you're imagining, it's probably exactly that. But how much would you guess it cost? Go on, have a guess. You'll be wrong.

  • Ep17: Mark Read

    A1's very own Mark Read has some excellent spending habits for Vix and Paul to dig into (spoiler alert, they're almost exclusively around geeky memorabilia).


    On the agenda this week, amongst other things, are grand pianos, Darth Vader, sex toys, Muppets and Elvis barbies which I'm sure you'll agree is a fairly wide spectrum.

  • Ep15: Ivo Graham

    The comedian joins Vix and Paul to reveal a series of interesting spending decisions from his life: from the time he bought a car just to start a conversation with another comedian, to how he made an unlikely new friend on TaskRabbit.


    He also has a map-based grudge against his cousin that is clearly still with him to this day, and he gives us an in depth analysis of women's trousers and specifically the issues with the pockets.


    And to cap it all off, he's very keen to establish some sort of couple’s therapy between Vix and Paul...

  • Ep14: Michelle Ackerley

    The TV Presenter and journalist is our guest this week, telling us all about her spending habits, from scented tea lights to bargain coats, and back to candles again. And again, and again (spoiler alert, Michelle really loves candles).


    She also gives us the skinny on the World's Strongest Man which she's presented for the last five years. And we learn about something called a 'poo-nami' which is exactly what you think it is.
