It’s official, the lads have run out of subject ideas. So to tackle this problem they took a small break, restructured the whole show and series 3 is now here. Moving away from subject titles, the lads decide to just chat. Russ has had a baby, Matt witnessed a brutal execution of a fly, Russ has decided he’s not a fan of a certain sport and the lads preview England v Italy in the Euro 2020. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @no_appointment. Enjoy.

This week Russ tells us all about the worlds most famous outlaws (or lack of). From Robin Hood to Dick Turpin, we analyse the lives of these notorious rogues only to discover that possibly none of them ever actually existed. We do learn however that one outlaw mentioned in the show is 100% real, and the story of that person is surprising yet hilarious (one of us is in trouble with our mums). Keep up up to date with the show by following us on Twitter and Instagram @no_appointment. We would also like to thank everyone who shared and donated to Matts son Thomas’ fund raising campaign for the Rays Of Sunshine Children’s Charity, granted wishes for children with serious or life limiting illnesses.

In the first episode following Russ’ battle with shingles (he may mention it once or twice), the lads count down the apparent top 21 U.K. game shows. The list according to https://www.joe.co.uk/entertainment/21-british-game-shows-ranked-from-worst-to-best-240090. Do you agree with the list? Spoiler alert, Matt and Russ don’t.

After a long delay on release, Matt & Russ discuss some of the weirdest genuine official world records. What is the heaviest weight lifted with a beard? Most coins balanced a chest? Who has the longest tongue? Listen to find out. The lads also shortlist potential records they’d like to attempt, can they find their way into the record books as their strive for infamy continues? Plus Russ spends longer than needed ranting about an advert that has recently annoyed him. Enjoy

This week Matt and Russ go international, speaking to American guest and podcast host Bex Goos. Bex tells us how her and her husbands podcast Not Again! began and what it’s all about. We discuss her podcast review website, compare different words used by England and America and Russ attempts to recruit her as a Carlisle United Football Club fan. After the chat Matt confronts Russ over his Disney Plus account and Russ tells Matt just how low down on his priority list he is to see him following restrictions being lifted. Check out Bex “Potato Lady” podcast reviews website here https://www.potatoladypodcastreviews.com/ and check her podcast out on Apple, Spotify and YouTube search “Not Again!”.

This week Matt & Russ analyse some of Nostradamus’ most famous predictions that are supposed to have come true (using the yay, nah, got legs ratings system). The death of Henry II, the great fire of London and the assassination of John F Kennedy are all events alleged to have been predicted by Nostradamus. The lads also introduce us to their death metal alter egos and they share their own predictions along with listeners predictions. ENJOY

Speaking to their first guest of 2021, Matt and Russ talk to artist India Barton. India draws portraits of people, animals and TV characters/personalities using only a biro, she’s also a tattoo artist. We discuss how she got started, her influences, some disasters which have forced her to restart a project and she perfectly describes exactly what sort of pain getting tattoo feels like (though we hope it’s not true). Check out all of Indias work on Twitter @india_barton and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiamaetattoo/?hl=en you will be amazed that it’s even possible to draw like that with a biro. Please subscribe to our show and follow us @no_appointment on Twitter.

Not a lot to say this week other than listener discretion is highly advised. The lads talk about some of the worlds most horrific cults and what their leaders put them through. It’s intense. The Peoples Temple, Heavens Gate, The Manson Family and The Ant Hill Kids are just some of the dangerous cults that existed that are discussed. Light-hearted may not be the best way to describe this subject. If anyone has been effected by anything in this episode, visit https://cultinformation.org.uk for help and information.

Matt and Russ are back for a new series 2 (who’d have thought it?). Following on from a discussion on the Conspiracy Theories episode last year, Matt attempts to convince Russ that the Apollo 11 moon landing mission was indeed a hoax created by NASA. Matt is confident in the evidence he has assembled, his only disadvantage is he’s pretty clueless on the subject. Can Matt convince Russ to change his mind and see things in a completely different light? Follow the show on at www.twitter.com/no_appointment and www.Instagram.com/no_appointment.

In loving memory of Anita Rowell, the best Gran anyone could ever have.
