The Brothers Deeney

Fancy walking around commercial hell all day on a busy Saturday? Thought not. Why not just listen to this for a bit instead. 

IKEA is a nightmare of an experience that loads of other people think is really good but it isn't it's a nightmare. 

Meatballs, blue & yellow, the lights bit... what more could a person ever dream of? 

We also talk about our top three fruits. Important stuff. 

It's the penultimate show of the season. We're tired.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change”

So never said Charles Darwin. It was Leon Megginson. But still, nice quote.

Evolution by natural selection was first posited in 1859 in On The Origin of Species, and has been a controversial topic since. Not sure why... becasue it's amazing... and true.

We did a game show episode. In The Rating Game, Conal and Joe must convince Sazzie as to their nomination for the most overrated and underrated thing in each category. 

We had a jolly good time making it, but it might be self indulgent crap. You be the judge.

Inside my shell I wait and bleed... or something. 

Remember Y2K? Remember pierced eyebrows? Remember moshing to Alien Ant Farm at Leeds Festival 2001? Yeah, it was rubbish. 

Here, we take to pieces a genre much-forgotten. A genre of skate parks and baggy jeans; turntable scratches and frosted tips; Durst and Levigne.

Yeah, we aren't fans, but we remember it allllll too well. You are our butterflies, sugar baby.

No stooges were used in the making of this podcast. 

How good is Derren Brown though? He goes out there, gets inside people's heads, and leaves without making a mess. We cover all the main topics of the big man's career: prediciting lottery numbers, heists, and when our mate Kez was nearly hypnotised by a dog. 

Conal's been poorly with norovirus... you can only imagine the stories he has to tell.

We came here for a shootout! 

The Kray Twins terrorised the London clubland of the 50s and 60s, bullying gangster kingpin and innocent civiliant alike. They used fear, intimidation, violence, and charm as their primary weapons, but won court cases againt the police, so the public loved them. Weird innit. 

Joe and Conal are just hoping that David Bailey takes some photographs of them so they can become East End legends too.

Barcelonaaaaaaa... such a beautiful horizon.

Rubbish song, charming city. Barcelona is one of the shining lights of European human settlements. A thriving hub of culture, quisine, architecture, history, and sport... but all the songs called Barcelona are still trash. 

Most importantly though, the Brothers Deeney discuss those little statues of men in red hats having a poo. 

We think you are all really fit.

It's not you, it's us. 

The best podcast talks about the worst feeling. You love someone to death, but they're keen to move on. None of us want it, but without it music would just be lift music. 

We indulge in all manner of anecdotes and opinions of love's turbulent meanderings. Conal gives us his history of ghosting and Joe regales a poem he wrote when he was 16. It's one part funny to sixty parts embarrassing.

Don't break our achey breaky hearts, just listen and tell all your mates.

1991. One year higher than 1990, but a million times more valuable. 

This was the year of Desert Storm, Grunge, Rodney King, doing everything for you, Game Boys, and eating people's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti fefefefe!

We go through this year, month by month, and see what it's left in its wake. 

Join us for fun, friendship, and maybe more.

Chim-chim-cheroo! And here it is... the musical worth watching. 

Detailing the job of a woman on a zero-hours contract, Mary Poppins has been spellbinding audiences since Beatlemania and shows no signs of a difficult breakup. 

With a host of talented performers, some much-discussed accents, and a surprisingly lengthy running time, this film is practically perfect in every way. 

We've got a quiz at the end too. Thats a good bit I reckon.
