It's been three weeks since the last episode - jheez! How did that happen? The week's ramblings are a real ensemble of random bullsh*t: my recent psychadelic experience at a stag party; the dog's b*llacks (or lack thereof); how uncool Vespas are; the time I went to a party with Maisie Williams and took a magical p*ss (and saw Tony Hawk from a distance); and a whole heap of other nonsense.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, you're in for a treat.

The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster; there have been ups, there have been downs, and there's been a two headed demon. Plenty to work with for this week's episode of Juan More Thing.

Most of all, this week I'm talking about a trip Lizzie and I took to Iceland in 2022, which happens to be one of the most magical, wholesome and memorable trips I've ever been on.

Everything from the penis museum, to the blue lagoon and all in between contributed to an unforgettable stay in one of the most stunning, and interesting places I've ever visited.

Very close friend, creative collaborator and mad scientist Dr. Alex Boote joins me for the first ever guest episode of Juan More Thing.

We're talking about the absurdity of a recent fine dining experience, and generally just chatting about life over the past few weeks.

I'm keen to know what people think of this week's episode and the change in dynamic having a guest on the show so please share any feedback!

(**Unfortunately, I didn't have the best audio set-up for capturing this conversation, so there are some low quality moments)

From the greats of the 90s; Nas, The Pharcyde, and A Tribe Called Quest to the contemporary "greats" of today, Lil Yachty, Lil Pump, and Kanye West (the weird, new Kanye West, that is**), Hip Hop's glory years seem a far cry from mumble rap and trap beats. But is there more to the current state of Hip Hop than what meets the eye? Or are contemporary artists simply lazy and disrespectful of the art from?

Join me this week as I talk about Hip Hop's influence on my own life and my take on why it's so bad now compared to 20 years ago.

Somewhere between deep mindfulness chat, and talking about my dog's d**k sits this week's episode, where I get into the medicinal effects music has had in my life, and historically in cultures around the world.

From invoking astral fields used for immortality, to helping ease the symptoms of Alzheimers patients, the magic of music has been prescribed throughout history to help the sick.

Our own subconscious relationships to music often include the medicinal qualities of soothing, calming, contemplating, accepting, and other mindful activities too.

I had a long think about all this of while I was in the bath recently, and decided to share it with y'all.

If you've enjoyed me talking absolute sh*te in your ear this week, please consider sharing the podcast with someone who might also enjoy it.

Thanks all, JC x

Tune in this week to hear me shittin' around for 56 minutes while I take you on a journey through my life in recent times.

I'm talking house hunting, puppy parenting, mental health, and a bunch of other stream-of-consciousness nonsense, including the time I lived above Denis Nilsen and could smell all his dead bodies in the floorboards.

I got my mojo back! Yeah, baby, yeah!

Thanks to this podcast getting my creative juices flowing again, I recently wrote a short story: 'The House of Dionysus', which is an absolutely daft comedy based on the tale of King Midas.

It's a wild, absurd, and debauch tale, that I wrote for no real reason, other than for a bit of fun.

I'm weirdly proud of this, considering it's mostly d*ck jokes, but nevertheless, if you enjoy the episode please consider leaving a rating, or sharing on social media.

Thanks everyone!

This week I'm having a big fat rant, as I reflect on the time a digital property guru took me for a fool and made me high-five, pray, sing, and dance my way through a scam business course for wannabe property investors.

The 'contrepreneur' phenomenon is now more known to the public, but still, thousands of people are indoctrinated into these cult-like self-help schemes every day. So let's peer behind the veil of shady salesmen, and shine a light upon the conniving con-artist world of the contrepreneur.

In 2018 I travelled through South America with a group of good friends. Throughout that journey, we found ourselves in countless bizarre situations, but none rivaled the tale I'm telling on this episode of Juan More Thing.

Want to learn more about a town where it's traditional to bang a donkey on your 14th birthday?

Ever wondered what it feels like to run for your life while wearing brand-new trainers? Tune in to find out!

I've told this story hundreds of times in the years since that trip and decided to include it, as well as a couple of other stories in this week's episode.

If you enjoy this week's episode please leave a rating and follow the pod!

My first hairy little toe, dipped into the world of podcasting. In this first episode, we get festive as f*** as I dive into a recent trip to Bruges and talk about the duality of this gorgeous city, as both a wonderfully cosy and festive city to visit, but also as a bit of a consumerist tourist trap that appears to milk Santa Clause dry to get coin from visitors.

While it truly is a f**king fairytale town, it turns out Bruges has a dodgy side; Santa was originally an evil slave-driver and for 10 euros you can visit a self-proclaimed vampire's creepy old mansion (and get a free mojito).

I still have no idea if it's supposed to be spelled 'Brugge' or 'Bruges', so we're going to trust Colin Farrel on this one.

Tune in for all that, and more!
