This week we're talking about why rejection hurts so much, what makes us take everything so personally, and why it's often better to let go at the times when we most want to hold on.

We also discuss leather trousers, the usefulness of swearing, and how Martin reacted to being left out of the squad for a cup final.

This week we're talking about why we find it hard to make decisions, why we say yes when we mean no, and how we can relieve our stress and anxiety by confronting the issues that make us stressed and anxious.

In addition, we mourn the demise of early closing and black football boots, Martin gets some feedback, and we disagree about Yorkshire Pudding.

This week we're discussing the ways in which finding things to laugh about helps us to feel better about ourselves and how elusive it becomes in the madness of addiction.

I spot a pop star lookalike, Martin is unimpressed with a lofty claim from a drinking game app, and we discover that shoes can be very useful in an emergency.

This week we're talking about how to work out what matters most in life and to prioritise that instead of wasting time flicking through pictures of cats playing the piano (unless that IS important to you).

We wonder why Henry James felt the need to repeat himself, disagree about Britpop, and observe a distinct lack of furniture restoration from Jay Blades on the BBC show "The Repair Shop"

This week we're talking about why seeking revenge when we feel hurt by someone else never gives us the resolution we're looking for.

We debate the importance of choosing the right footwear when driving the car, highlight the perils of ordering a calendar online, and reminisce about the heady aroma of creosote.

This week we're discussing the reasons why reported abductions by aliens have reduced in number over the past year or so and what it might have to do with alcohol.

We're also talking about the little-known phenomenon of alcoholic blackouts.

We manage to find our way to these subjects via pancakes and the 1970s chart-toppers Showaddywaddy.

At one point we're even rudely interrupted by Alexa.

This week we're talking about why some of us have a tendency to hold ourselves to impossibly high standards and take responsibility for things that don't work out even when they really have very little to do with us.

There's also quite a lot of football chat, most of which is in context rather than indulgent, much of which is also ridiculous.

This week we're discussing the perils of gifting alcohol.

What might seem like a benign and thoughtful gesture could when given to the wrong person, create a negative and even dangerous response.

I tell Martin about a most awkward experience involving a gift of alcohol, he shows little interest in my enthusiasm for grapes, and we ponder on the reasons that grandmothers have so much talcum powder.

This week, we're discussing the much-believed myth that you can be born with an addictive personality and we identify some of the real reasons you're likely to find yourself with addiction issues.

We also talk about what it means when you see yourself as lazy, how Tibetan singing bowls have convinced Martin we're now social influencers, and the sad demise of "Pick n Mix".
