This week Ali, Chris, Phil and JP skip straight to the big news story of the week. The BBC is a British institution but what does all the recent rumpus mean for it’s reputation and future - is it an indicator or an instigator of polarised modern culture! We don’t really answer these hard questions but we have a laugh talking about it as though we can and that’s the real lesson in all of this… probably.

This week Big Al dials in from the Western Isles of Scotland to ensure he doesn’t miss the hot debate with Chris, Phil and JP over what sandwich is the grea… oh, it’s bacon. The answer is a bacon sandwich. Or ham. Anyway, we have fun!

This week Phil, Ali, JP and Chris talk about Biohacking - the practice of physical optimisation! Is this just marketing and appealing to all our inner desire to live longer or are there genuine gains to come from tech and science-led approaches? What do our four midlifers reckon to it all!

This week JP, Ali, Phil and Chris discuss the state of the UK. The big news story of the week is a tie between Trump’s State visit and the incoming Ryder cup… and finally we talk about all the things we’ve been watching, listening to and not reading.

Recorded in October 2024, the boys discuss AI and the internet - going back to their first experiences of dial up and hotmail email addresses through to their (ahem) cutting edge use of digital tools today… including the dawn of consumer AI and whether that’s a whole new thing or just the next iteration of the internet-as-plumbing for humanity. As ever we also talk about a big new story and what we’ve been watching or listening to.

Phil, Ali, JP and Chris talk about how they would fare in an apocalyptic scenario! Nuclear, pandemic, zombies or AI takeover? What roles do we see ourselves playing in society when civilisation has collapsed? Then we delve into some of the top stories of the week before finding out what’s good that we’ve been watching, reading or listening to.

Phil, Ali, JP and Chris talk about their favourite way the world ends (in fiction). What’s the best and worst version of the apocalypse? Why is this story told over and over again? Then we delve into some of the top stories of the week before finding out what’s good that we’ve been watching, reading or listening to. Apocalypse Part 2 next week!

This week the boys get into matters of money and debt - inc the best and worst money they’ve ever spent! Then we talk a bit about the economics of climate change and electric vehicles before finishing with a quick round up on what we’ve been watching, reading or listening to.

This week Chris, Phil and JP discuss high performance in Big Al’s absence - what do we think that means in our own work and lives across the military, government and industry… what have we given up to be high-performers, if that’s what we are? Was it worth it? We take a little spin through the news of the day - mainly deciding the UK’s got itself in a bit of a state but at least there’s finally a lot of good movies and tv out!

A more sombre tone this week as Chris, JP, Ali and Phil attempt to talk about the afterlife but end up talking about death and… associated topics like ghosts, ouija boards and psilocybin! It’s may be not all that funny but neither’s assisted dying becoming a real possibility in the UK. The big story of the week isn’t funny either. But we are watching some good stuff if you last till the end!
