Sideways

This week we're talking about why we blame other people instead of taking responsibility ourselves, and why it keeps us stuck in an uncomfortable place we'd much rather escape from.

We try and identify what type of tree Martin feels grateful for, and we experience doubt as to the exact identity of a kipper.

This week we're talking about how easily trust is destroyed and how it takes a great deal of effort and far more time than we'd like to build it back up.

Martin introduces me to the concept of "knit-bombing" when I tell him about a crocheted post box, and he tells me about spending the nights in an old people's home, which seems like a good place for him.

After some confusion about a famous Hollywood actor, we find that neither of us can remember the name of the snake in "Jungle Book".

This week we're talking about whether it's ever too late to make positive changes to our lives.

We also discuss the frustration of dropping things down the side of car seats, distracting drinking vessels, why a leopard doesn't need to change its spots, and why Covid vaccines are like buses.

This week we're talking about how we decide whether or not we're "measuring up" and whether it's always a good thing to be bothered about anyway.

Martin throws around some random quotes, I make a metaphorical pyramid from wooden coffee stirrers, and we never get to the bottom of whether or not Martin is watching too much football.

In this week's episode, we're discussing why it's so hard to sit and relax, especially if you have come to measure your value as a human being by considering the extent of your achievements.

I ask Martin why he insists on going walking in slippery shoes, and he tells me about an ill-fated holiday tour that promised a lot and didn't deliver.
