Love Mainland

We try to do some ASMR, wonder whether it's love if it's not lethal, discuss the different types of plastic surgery, rediscover an Aussie Classic Track, we do a lot of terrible British accents, can't work out UK geography, and we hassle each other for No Good Reason. ENJOY!

A thoroughly mediocre episode. Alana was too drunk, Sam was too sober. We talk about newsagents for a while.

We are so so sorry we left you to your own devices for a whole month but we both had some essential worker-ing to do, pandemic style. But now we're back, and tbh stupider than ever, taking a look at what precise parts of the genitals are "pornographic", what to do if you're dad is cooler than you, and we try work out what the deal is with some people's body counts... Actually if you’ve fucked more than 350 people in your sex career please get in touch with us we need to understand the maths.

Once again *nearly* too drunk to podcast.

In this epi we rate philosophers by hotness, talk about neuroscience and psychoanalysis, and discuss whether it’s possible to know what love is (cf. Foreigner). It takes us 41 mins of ancillary discussion to get to direct Love Island commentary though we would argue it’s all relevant; like why is Sophie so dedicated to the relationship with Tom when it’s clear she doesn’t like him that much? The fatal mystery... tbh, we were pretty drunk for this one. ENJOY?!

Is corona an STD? Why are vampires so much wealthier than zombies? Why won't Sophie fuck Tom? What, in the final analysis, is so sweet about the sweetest taboo?

In this long and strong episode we talk about the actual stats on reality TV suicide rates, think about the way humans show affection by joining up their gastrointestinal tracts, realise that Jesus was just a Jungian/bad philosophy-bro housemate, compare TV cameras to the super-ego, think about hating the ones we love, and try to work out if Cara and Nathan fucked. Sam also begins the transition of the pod from love island gossip sesh to Lacan reading group.

In our first iso epi recorded over Zoom (can you hear me?), we take a deep dive into Sophie Gradon's history, wonder if love is the thing that kills us all, make some anti-semitic remarks about farting, air our shared misunderstandings of astrology (Cancer is the best sign as everyone know), and beg Danny Cipriani once more to come on the pod.

Don't forget to rate and review us in the Podcast app, we love it when you guys do that omg xx

A huge episode! We play you some Enya finally, do a reading of Freud's famous paper on negging, address the excess of juice in this season, clarify some Spanish pronunciations, try to work out what flotsam, ships, yachts, boats and bits of wood have to do with love, and take a look at what Sophie’s bisexuality might mean for our favourite painted-egg.

We talk about what makes the Dick Energy small, how paranoia leads to brainwashing, explore the mechanics of crushing and find out when a crush becomes love. Let us take you back to a time before the Juul vapour was extremely infectious.
