Only Slightly Drunk

Oh, you really don't want to miss this one! 

We (almost) avoid politics, and kick off by playing a new game called "How would you do it?". The rules are simple, but Robbo still manages to misunderstand them. Hilarity prevails.

We then talk about comedy, and should we censor things in the modern world from years ago? Just because something wasn't considered offensive "then", should it be considered offensive "now"? 

There then follows an interesting chat about time travel. Logan tries to act clever by showing how much he knows about the theory that says time travel is possible - but ends up looking and sounding exactly like a man who did five minutes research on Wikipedia. We also talk about some examples of alleged time travel and discuss whether or not they're true. It goes about as well as you'd expect. 

Slight detour into US politics as Robbo ends up rather more drunk than either Johnny or Logan and ends up ranting. It's bloody entertaining, too. 

A second round of "How would you do it" follows, and this time, Robbo, despite dribbling wine down himself, manages to get the rules.

Tune in, listen, and enjoy Logan being pompous, Robbo being pissed and Johnny wondering what the hell he's got himself involved in...

We're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Here it is, the first episode of Season 3, and the first episode with Johnny joining the crew as our new regular co-presenter!

We ease him in gently with a discussion about the latest shenangians in the USA, followed by a chat about how it feels to be politically homeless - why does Johnny and so many other people feel that way, and what needs to be done to change it?

Robbo tries to keep it sensible and meaningful in the face of Logan being a bit of a prick. As usual. 

And then it's the new season of Bollocks or Not? And Johnny and Robbo go head to head. 

Treat Yo'self and listen.

Ooo boy, did this episode ever get out of hand at the start - forget "slightly" drunk, we were really VERY drunk - we recorded this in two parts, the first part we came back from the pub a little worse for wear, as you'll hear at the start!

We slur our way through gun law changes in Texas, ask if the American political system is broken beyond repair, Logan goes on a rant about something that we didn't pay much attention to and we ask what IS wrong with Kanye.

We finished there, due to fearing we wouldn't make much sense for the rest of it, and came back the next day to talk about main subject -  near death expereiences. Logan provides the "facts", Robbo the opinion as we talk about some famous cases involving them.

Are they real, what happens in them, could they just be a halluncination...it's all discussed.

This really is a podcast in two parts!

Enjoy, mo'fo's.

Hello you!

Told you that you had some goodness coming your way thick and fast. And we don't mean...no, not making that joke again. 

This show starts off all over the place, as we somehow manage to start things off with a discussion about why and how when we were kids, all porn videos were German, and you only found discarded porn magazines in hedges. Weird.

Brief segue (God knows how) into Rishi and the vile - yeah, I said it - VILE Suella Braverman...or is it Sue Ellen Braverman? 

There's a brief jump - and I do mean brief jump - into Kanye's meltdown, and then we're into the main topic for the episode, which is reincarnation. It's a fascinating discussion and tbh, we could have spent a LOT longer discussing it. 

Finally, we end with - look, you know how we end every episode by now, so let's not waste each other's time, mmkay? Get listening - GO!

Aiiiiight

Been a busy few weeks at OSD Towers, and we're a bit behind the curve when it comes to releasing the latest episodes. Still, we're back on track now, and you can expect some episodes coming at you thick and fast. Just like Robbo's mu...no. No, sorry that's just not fair.

We kick off this week with a weird little sidebar about drugs, and how people's real life experience of them is never like it is in the movies. Don't ask me how we managed to get onto that, just listen. 

Then we return to two subjects that Robbo has been following on behalf of all the OSD'ers everywhere - the Alex Jones trial, in which we have a verdict, and Donald Orange Loser Trump's latest desperate attempt to avoid prosecution for...well, lots of things tbh.

The main subject is Boy Bands, and we present our own, slightly drunk perspective on their history - who was the first, who was the best, why are they so popular (in Logan's house). By the time we're finished, you'll be educated and bored. Sorry, entertained. I meant entertain. 

Then we see it home with the usual Bollocks or Not trivia challenge.

It's been worth the wait. It HAS.

Welcome to a special OSD, where Johnny Greenfield and Scott Parkes join us for the whole show to discuss being young "then" and "now."

How has schooling and discipline changed? What about sex education and the way sex is used to advertise and promote everything from music to food? Is it easier to find a job and what's changed in terms of what employers look for, is education or experience more vital? And what about buying a house, what barriers are there, is there a generation growing up who have been priced out of owning their own home forever?

It's a fascinating, illuminating, at times slightly fiesty and nearly always very funny listen, so treat yourself.

Apologies the audio is slightly off on this, we had some issues with the equipment - but the chat is so spontaneous and off the cuff that to re-record would have been criminal.

(Sorry, no video of this, so you don't get to swoon over Johnny and Scott. This is a deliberate OSD decision taken because we're jealous of them.)

Aiiiiiight.

Another OSD, and this one doesn't quite go to plan, which should be no surprise really.

We did intend to talk about the JFK assassination, not in terms of WHAT happened, but the many conspiracy theories around it. However, we get a bit carried away talking about other things, so JFK will have to wait. Sorry, John. 

We start by discussing some of the most insane laws around - laws which makes things illegal that either should't be illegal, or shouldn't need a law around them anyway.

Then we talk about the end of the Tory leadership compeition, namely, how did Rishi Sunak manage to lose when he looked nailed on to win for most of the race...how did his team mess it up so bad, and (whisper it) does racism play a part in the final result?

There's a brief segue into some religious chat, mainly because we're too stupid to know which subjects to avoid, and then we see it home with the usual trivia challenge. 

JFK will be get his time in the sun. Promise. But for now, enjoy this and stop moaning...ok?!

sOoo look, OSD innit.

Tonight, we’re drinking white wine and talking about a couple of spectacular celebrity falls from grace, plus Trump and Mar-a-Lago, covering off the end of the Alex Jones trial and finally we delve into the spooky story of one of England’s best documented and most (allegedly) spectacular hauntings, the Enfield Poltergeist. 

Then we see it home with Bollocks or Not. 

If you miss it, you'll hate it. Yourself. I mean you’ll hate yourself. 

*OSD wish to make it clear that you should love yourself. No matter what.

Hello you! 

 This was meant to be a special half length “lite” episode of OSD in which we discuss the OTHER most famous haunted house in England, Borley Rectory. This one has it all - not just  poltergeists. It’s got ghostly nuns and monks, spirit writing, headless horsemen, mysterious fires and more than a slight whiff of fraud. 

However, because we had some wine and talk a LOT of rubbish at the best of times, it ended up segueing into medieval history, the horrific things English Kings have done to their enemies and some very nasty stories about public execution. 

So, seeing as it went long, we decided to just turn into a “full” show and throw the usual Bollocks or Not in at the very end. 

I like it. We like it. You’ll like it. YOU WILL.
