So it turns out that Valentine’s day and Pancake Day did not fall in the same week, but never mind! This week we bring you a very open episode about the tricky negotiations of marriage and how we overcame a big Valentine’s row.

Chris invents yet another ‘segment’ called “Something Current” and we also get to hear how Chris ended up not playing himself dead, in real-life, if that makes any sense at all.

Also there’s some Geeres to Grind into the bargain.

Hope you enjoy!

It’s all kicking off this week as I have discovered that Chris has secretly been putting the heating on whilst I’ve been out.  But it’s “Even Stevens” as it appears Chris is unhappy about the prospect of Valentine’s Day and what it entails for him as a husband LOL!

I shed some light on the Origin of Shrove Tuesday and we learn the context of our very well-known phrase, "Happy as Larry" in this week’s segment of the Origin of Words.

We also discuss the funny events and purchases that have surrounded our past Valentine Days over the years and Chris decides to get romantic on me at the last minute!

Hope you enjoy!

This episode is full of just enough silliness as usual to ease you into the end of the week!

There’s a nice dollop of “Grinding Our Geeres” (Still can’t work out how to say that properly) and Chris has invented yet another “segment” which then forced me to compose another two jingles retrospectively.    

So look forward to Chris’s Quiz which turns out to have a rather different ending than you might expect!

We also discuss the HUGE benefit of Car Magnets and you get to find out who our “Award-winning” listener is!

Hope you enjoy as ever,

Love, Jen & Chris

We’re squeezing a lot into 20 mins today and it’s SO COLD!

What better to warm me up than to receive an award from my husband for being a great wife!
Is it a real award though? That’s for you guys to decide..

Chris invents a new segment called “Crimpy’s Tank” which I had to then hurriedly create a jingle for this week. Origin of Words makes an appearance, and there’s also a culinary corner for you in which we chat about Octopus Mash!

Please write to us with your ideas for our sign-offs and enjoy the episode.

Chris has returned from his Pilgrimage a new man!! 

We hear some more tales from Chris’s student days, shared with his best mate Rob, and we have another segment of Useless Purchases for you to giggle along with.

And don’t you want to hear who Mr Blenkinstein and the Muffin man are?! Oh, of course you do.

Hope you enjoy!

This week we are enjoying a deep old chat about star signs! 

We cover Chris’s Piscean tendencies and then he eagerly explores the rather dubious traits of a Scorpio, which I felt he enjoyed rather too much…

It’s also time for a new jingle, which means it’s time for a new “segment”!!  “Jen’s Scary Stories” is finally here and I have something to blow your  mind!

Hope you enjoy!

Ep 9. Happy New Geere

A New Year, and we are back with a BANG!

Chris discusses the difficulties of the January gloom but then we move on to a very funny segment of Culinary Corner where we chat about the amazing menu that he designed for New Year’s Eve.

As usual there are stories about memories past and funny words and sayings, please join us for some giggles and some really open and vulnerable chats from Mr G.

Wishing you a Wonderful start to 2023.

Uh-oh! We’ve had the COVID! We’re back in the UK for Christmas and it finally got us. Not only that, but Chris has eaten his own bodyweight in festive snacks and Baileys..

So this is the “in-Between bit” after Christmas and New Year where nobody knows what day it is or whether we’re supposed to be at work or not.  

We’ve got some serious Christmas Grinds and Chris regails us with stories from his Manchester United trip out! 

We have been asked by our lovely listeners to discuss the differences between LA and the UK and also what reality tv shows we’d like to appear on.  Chris has some interesting ideas!!

We are so grateful for you guys listening every week and can’t wait to see you in 2023.

Happy New Year!!

Here’s a little extra mini episode to tide you over the Christmas week!

We didn’t mean to have a falling out, but in the end we thought it was honest and funny to share, so here it is! And David Bowie’s inspirational quote doesn’t get discussed in the end…

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas one and all! 

We have so much festivity packed into this episode it should leave you feeling positively sparkly!!

This is the first ever segment of “Chris’s Culinary Corner” complete with new jingle (of course) where he discusses the benefits of an upside-down turkey.

Then we have the pleasure of delivering some Christmas wishes for our listeners before it’s time for another of Jen’s origin of (Christmas) words - when is it not?!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
