Social Media Ruins Everything

Hi there, hope you're well. Anyway, this is episode 26 of Social Media Ruins Everything. 

The guys discuss the disturbing trend of short-form video content on Instagram Reels and YouTube Stories. And do you always need to film the homeless for the socials when you help them out?

They also dive into the top trending topics on Twitter in the UK. And, of course, they cover off Questions, Queries, and Conundrums.

Just 3 days after having a heart attack, Mark is back in the SMRE studio and the guys decide that having a heart attack is better than spending an afternoon on Twitter.

Go behind the scenes of a Scottish hospital in 2022. Learn what it’s like to require urgent coronary care while, at the same time, being asymptomatic Covid-positive. Will you have a Do Not Resuscitate slapped on your records?

Plus in Questions, Queries and Conundrums, the guys chew over their best and worst meals and whether humanity has peaked or not.

Well, folks, 2021 saw the world of Social Media Ruins Everything go into full swing. And now, as the days are short and dark and cold and wet, it's time to tell 2021 to wind its fucking neck in. Neil and Mark wrap up the year with a bumper long podcast where they chat about the Metaverse, the world of live streaming, how Christmas is always "quiet, very quiet", and the world of trademarks and copyright infringements. And lots, lots more.

Hello, good evening and welcome to episode 23 of Social Media Ruins Everything, the podcast where 2 white cis males discuss life, masculinity, social media and the spike in covid home improvement.

We hope you enjoy the show and we'll be back next week with another episode.

Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to episode 22 of the galactically available Social Media Ruins Everything podcast, where you can expand your mind, your opinions and tell people wonderful facts at work after listening. And if they question you, you’re able to say “I heard it on a podcast” (t-shirts coming soon).

This week the guys discuss life in New Zealand with first-time-caller Alan, they hear about Producer Cam ruining a marriage proposal by tipping a round of drinks over everyone’s head, and how much fraudsters have ripped the taxpayer off, per head.

In Questions, Queries and Conundrums, they ponder whether Christmas is losing its festiveness, how Mark’s arse is, and pieces of information that would lead to us being asked “how the fuck do you know that?”.

Hello there, and welcome along to the 21st episode of Social Media Ruins Everything. Today’s the day we’re given the keys to the podcast kingdom, and we’re on our way to taking over.

Anyway, we’re recording, once again, in the new home of SMRE, the Podcast Studio Glasgow, which is very exciting. Mark and Producer Cam have been working very hard to get the space podcast-recording-ready, and it’s almost there.

In this week’s episode, we cover Neil’s new routine of having an actual routine, Mark’s story of losing all his money to a Chinese vendor of pure shitey tat, how Neil’s mum dealt with Rutherglen gangsters and whether or not Neil enjoyed visiting Skye.

Plus we deal with some listener Questions, Queries and Conundrums, plus 2 listeners tell us that we’ve made it to the top of their Spotify podcast charts, which is both satisfying and expected, in a way.

Hello, good evening and welcome to Episode 20 of Social Media Ruins Everything. It's a very special interview as we're joined in the new SMRE studio by Ross from Finnieston Clothing and the 15:41 Glasgow Central to Dalmornock train.

Anyone, this is the first episode filmed and recorded in our new studio. It’s still a work in progress, especially when the guys moved in and discovered that trains pass by every 10 minutes. Something they didn’t realise when viewing the space.

But to mark the occasion, they invited fashion entrepreneur Ross along to sit in and to share his story of starting a Glasgow fashion brand. We interrogate him on the process of designing, manufacturing and marketing a brand new range of men’s clothing, all based around the historic shipbuilding culture of Glasgow.

Plus we cover raising children, dealing with food phobias, the concepts of mortality and the soul, and much more.

Ross is also giving all SMRE viewers and listeners 20% off their next purchase by using the discount code SMRE15 (it was going to be 15%, but he generously said “why the fuck not, make it 20”. Claim your discount here.
