🚨 Missed us already? We said we were on hiatus… but here’s a surprise special. Get extra chaos on Patreon → patreon.com/SortofaPound

Guess what? We lied. Sort of. Shane and Louise can’t resist popping in with a bonus episode packed with TV rants, nostalgic throwbacks, and accidental life hacks you didn’t know you needed.

From heartbreak over The Last of Us (major spoilers, fair warning!) to Ghost Whisperer’s ghostly nonsense and a total meltdown about Heart of Dixie, it’s a whiplash tour through everything we love and hate about TV endings. Tessie’s here too, freshly trimmed and deeply unimpressed.

Also featuring: shopping bargains turned into TV stands, easels that double as telly props, Schitt’s Creek love letters, and big plans for the next SOAP era. We said we’d rest. We failed.

It’s our 20th episode! Shane and Louise celebrate with an unplanned whirlwind of holiday tales, money-saving hacks, and Tessie’s new haircut reveal.

From epic outlet shopping in Vegas, to spontaneous ziplining fears, jellyfish stings in Miami and the weirdest dog grooming confessions - it’s the ultimate holiday special you never asked for.

There’s tales of High School Musical pilgrimages, discount coupon miracles in CVS, random car hire rants, and Shane’s accidental spoiler about his wrestling tag match finish.

Plus, big news: we’re taking a short summer break to plot new segments and come back bigger, funnier, and probably just as chaotic.

This week, Shane and Louise accidentally become Martin Lewis Live. From broadband nightmares to miracle Nike trainers, it’s a full-blown consumer champion episode - but with more swearing and fewer facts.

Shane gets a Sky deal so good it sounds illegal. Louise reminisces about broadband being buried in his garden. And parcel delivery disasters spark a nationwide call to arms (and refund chatbots).

We're back in the same room (finally) and diving headfirst into unfiltered chaos: from red underwear under white dresses to confiscated biscuits at Shane’s wrestling debut. Louise shares the ultimate fashion life hack, Shane opens up about the nerves and triumphs of main eventing his first ever match (and the kid who shouted “I love you!”), and we debate whether you can style a t-shirt.

This week, Louise is away, so AI Louise steps in to keep Shane company—and the chaos is very real. We dig through never-before-heard Patreon extras, revisit a traumatic (and nearly explosive) train commute, and descend into the filthiest, funniest university story you’ve ever heard. We’re talking diarrhoea disasters, tattoo regrets, and the mystery of “Matey”.

💩 Shane’s pizza-fuelled near-miss on a packed train 🤖 AI Louise is here (against her will?) 🎓 Uni confessions involving tights, sick, and a full-blown panic clean 📱 Tattoo reveals gone very, very wrong 👃 The house that stank for days 📟 Meet “Matey”… if you dare

This week we take a chaotic deep-dive into the world of TV and film - both nostalgic and absolutely unhinged.

🎥 Shane recalls the VHS from childhood he finally tracked down (Mumfie, anyone?), Shane remembers a BBC school show she never saw the end of, and we spiral from Star Wars edits to... steampunk time-travel mysteries.

Also in the episode:

🦑 Was Jabba the Hutt originally a man?

👻 The movie that made Shane throw popcorn

📼 How an old tape from a birthday party never included the end of the show!?

🛑 Louise goes full Karen (then gets gifted a tin of biscuits)

🎬 Your controversial film takes: the Pounders weigh in on Hunger Games, Point Break, and “whatever El Topo is…”

📺 Plus: childhood telly, forgotten endings, and series that deserved better.

In this episode, Shane’s prepping for his first wrestling match (and covering bruises with fake tan), Louise takes a wrestling crash course (with some creative guesses), and Tessie’s on a mission to find Hugo’s missing balls.

This week, AI takes over. Literally. Shane and Louise are technically still here, but they've let AI clone their voices, write their theme song, generate Shane's wrestling entrance music, clean up photos, and maybe—just maybe—replace them entirely. From fake Donald Trump skydives to AI selling you bin stores, this episode spirals into the future faster than you can say “glitch in the matrix.”

📽️ Deepfakes, fake meetings, and faking your entire job?

Plus: the scariest AI use cases we’ve seen (and used), how AI is replacing everything—including you—and why you might already be living in a simulation run by ChatGPT.
