That's Just Ridiculous! with GUY & PAUL

The two friends make a report from the front line at the Glastonbury Festival.  After hearing this  you can save yourself 240 quid and tell people you were there.  They review gigs by Interpol, Keane, The Killers and the Chemical Brothers.  Security and the drugs policy also come under sober consideration.  Go backstage with Paul to the VIP area and the mosh pit with Guy.  Peace and love and let's see your wrist band son.

The two friends are currently at the Glastonbury Festival, and little has been heard from them for 24 hours.  Paul was last seen lavishing kisses and hugs on a long lost friend, who turned out to be a total stranger.  Next week they will file a full and frank report of their festival highs and lows.

The two friends are reunited, and ready to make up for last weeks missing pod.  They extol the joys of ferry trips, the 100 years war, and the night before Glastonbury Festival, as well as warning of the perils of peaking too early and knowing too many Beatles lyrics in Cuban bars.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION!

This week the gents attempt to understand the nature of our changing world and the role of risk and danger in our daily lives. Is there room for the maverick in our increasingly small world? Are wars necessary or can we make do with football? Can humans be domesticated? The big questions get an airing and the implications are profound.

It’s Awards Week in podland.  The prizes were handed out to the nation’s favourite pods and Guy fails to hide his disappointment that THAT’S JUST RIDICULOUS did not make the podium. It’s a bitter pill to swallow and unfortunately one that you don’t get high on.  Paul doesn’t give a shit.  We also talk about how we would act under torture, male grooming, Andrew Motion, and Paul’s late night acting out on the internet.

Listen to another closely focused podcast from the men who are Just Ridiculous.  We start with Farage, hop to the ancient Greeks and thence Paul's account of starting a revolution in Portugal.  That's the first four minutes.  We hear the friends discuss the rights and wrongs of telling friends their partners are shite, and then discuss modern trophy hunting in all its glories.  It's soon time to plan a foreign trip to pod at Chernobyl, Paul's spiritual home, before wrapping up with Jeff Bezos, living in space and the time Martian houseguests overstayed their welcome .

Friendship?  Can you wear it out with overuse? After recording 36 podcasts together, the boys discuss this rather sensitive topic. Paul then gives us a feelings check and lets his buttons get pushed.  Guy reveals what came up at his first ever tarot reading, and the two of them make fun of cruise ship holidays.

This week the two friends take their ease in front of the fire.  Paul breaks the congenial mood playing a love song to Guy on his guitar, but Guy, as forgiving as ever doesn't hold it against him.  They then discuss street begging, busking and other promising career opportunities for Paul.  Talk turns inevitably to high tension cables,  stag dos and restaurant troubadours.

The two friends are back in Somerset podding in front of the fire. They open on Kafka and how his life was such a doddle compared to the average citizen's these days.  Pablo the cat slinks into the room to listen in.  Recently Pablo has been ignoring the friends and the two of them discuss the fickleness of the pet.  It's time then for a run through of the local Glastonbury magazine, the magnificent Oracle.  The boys search for a way to heal themselves, but is it too late?
