Yes, in a partial tribute to those idiots in moustaches, we present Podcast 118, which will not help you find a phone number, but will tread a fine line between sincerity and insincerity, artifice and reality, current affairs and endless emails from needy fans, hard news and insubstantial fluff, bromance and bickering, commerce and charity ... this just in: 'Manhunt' man still at large: was once a cute baby, Ashley Cole still by the pool with two ex-public schoolgirls, parents banned from own children's sports day according to made-up lie, everyone in Britain drunk according to Justin Webb, and Paul the octopus a miracle but inappropriately named. Richard likes Andrew, and Andrew likes Richard. And they've been doing this for years, darlin', and they know what they're doing. (You'll have to listen to the bonus minutes to understand that.) Oh, and thank you very much for the partially stamped sushi card, Giles Stafford.

In Collings and Herrin Podcast 117, recorded in the heat of the middle of the day with salty tidemarks forming everywhere - fortunately not pictured, as BT have decided to turn back time in Richard's house to the late 90s when the internet took ages for pictures to scroll into view - we dissect the comedy ambitions of Lembit Opik, the new benchmark by which all latecoming stand-up comedians with confidence but no jokes must now be judged; the motives of the Sun's front page image of a soldier who's been shot in the face in Afghanistan - see full video at thesun.co.uk!!!!! - the media's surprising fascination with an attractive female Russian spy; and the fashion impact of foot gloves. But mainly we reminisce about the good old days when pictures took ages to scroll into view on the internet and wait for a man to finish unloading 1,000,000 Christ On A Bike programmes.

In Collings and Herrin Podcast 116, we intended to kick it old skool and talk about what was in the newspapers, but got somewhat sidetracked by some old Edinburgh Fringe brochures from 1989, 1993, 1998 and 2001, which unfortunately turned into an indulgent smoking-jacketed remembrance of comedians and Fringes past. However, there was time to go over the 11 hour and 5 minute long Most Boring Tennis Match In History, praise the bionic cat and reclaim both a line from Russell Brand's new Hollywood comedy which Richard probably wrote, and the bits that were too complimentary to broadcast on Lenny Henry's afternoon chat show. In the one-hour-six-minute-and-35-seconds version of this podcast, we accidentally end on a contentious note, so we have taken the diplomatic and ethical decision to publish this slightly longer version. Oh, and Richard takes his shirt off, mid-podcast. Like a footballer or something.

In Collings and Herrin Podcast 115, we cast aside the news - mainly because we only have the literally worthless newspaper the London Evening Standard at our disposal - and instead discuss England's chances in the World Cup of Football, the vuvuzela backlash, the loveliness of Steve Brown Photo's cats (which we met on his boat at a three-way photo session for our upcoming Edinburgh Fringe shows, many of which you can buy tickets for in advance), the loveliness or not of SummerJunk's t-shirts [neither pictured, despite Luke sending us one each in exchange for some sponsorship action - Andrew forgot to bring his, and Richard foolishly ordered the Large, which turns out to be Medium if you are, yourself, large], and the drunkenness or not of Andrew at last week's sleepover, or sleepduring, if you were Andrew being forced to watch Richard's live DVD rough-cut.

Psssst! Want some non-brand-name print cartridges? On Collings and Herrin Podcast 114, as well as discuss gun control, fox control, Angelina Jolie's needy emails, the new, more literal Friday The 13th franchise, Stewart Lee's bad dream, Andrew's bad dream, the eternal Pret A Manger card, sibling rivalry and Vic Reeves' iPad, we offer a whole stack of useless print cartridges in unnecessarily subtle shades of magenta and cyan for free to the first person who needs ones that are compatible with printers P7150, 8250, C6180, D7360, D6160, C5173, C5194, D7163, 3108 etc. [See: podcast for full list of compatible printers.]

In what could be the last ever Collings and Herrin podcast, unlucky number 113, Andrew and Richard try to process certain 'issues' that threaten to bring their relationship to an untimely and fictional end. They also try some displacement activity and, avoiding the tiny elephant in the room, discuss the comedic skills of England No. 2 Franco Baldini, the evil aid workers and peace campaigners on the boat to Gaza, the cheering men of Goodge Street and the floppy nature of some of Richard's archive. They even try to patch up their relationship by reading out some old Collins and Maconie and Lee and Herring material from the 90s. Has it worked? Or is the podcast broken? Tune in to next week's to find out.

In our 112th podcast overall, and the fifth podcast an almost-spent Richard has recorded in six days, we almost exhaustively ignore the newspapers and instead discuss the historical accuracy of Roman epics, including the new Australian Bravo miniseries Blood and Spunk, the ethical and linguistic accuracy of The Time Machine and Avatar, and the disappearance of Samantha Mumba, the main differences between having the saddle stolen off your bike and being raped; we also come up with a brilliant theme for our next commercially available CD, mourn the death of one of Slipknot, and ponder the scribbled notes in one of Richard's many unused notebooks, one of which seems to have part of someone called Tanya's credit card number on it.

In the post-Sonys podcast, which is number 111, we try to squeeze one last extra drop of observational humour from a man who is currently doing three podcasts a week - and, after he's appeared on Five Live's 7 Day Sunday, four podcasts a week - and clearly showing the strain. Luckily, a whole assortment of people have sought Richard out to secure sponsorship, so most of the podcast is taken up with namechecking them, then some adverts, then a bit of a spat on Twitter with a man who provocatively Tweeted Richard during the podcast, then some more adverts, and finally a philosophical debate about playing God and whether we should live more like monkeys. If you find the podcast 'a bit meh' (not a word either of us would ordinarily stoop to), then let Richard know by name on Twitter via @Herring1967. Oh, and thanks for the Korean products that are featured in the photo: ha ha, one of them is nearly called SHITE.

In this special pre-Sony Awards podcast, number 110, we actually get dressed into our monkey suits as we prepare to attend the 'radio Oscars' in London's actually-real Mayfair. Uniquely, the podcast is recorded on Andrew's laptop, without the new mic, but we're sitting in an actual BBC studio at 6 Music, which is all soundproofed and everything. Talk is mainly of Britt Ekland, sex with Neanderthals, Jeremy Paxman, Nigel Farage's trouser leg, Rome, Hitler and the Great Fire at the British Library. Wish Richard luck - by the time you hear this he will either have won or not won a Sony Award. And congratulations to Stewart Lee on his Bafta nomination, which is no way overshadows Richard's achievement.

You decide! In what is the Collings and Herrin Election Week Podcast Debate Special, we provide balanced, fair and impartial coverage of the Gillian Duffy affair (which one of us missed because he was up the Spanish Steps in Rome), the potential outcome of a Labour or Lib Dem victory on the future of Page 3 and/or Gary Glitter, the ins and outs of Deep Throat (was it in black and white, or were we?), the Amazon Hunting and Fishing Humour chart, and the proximity of the failed car bomb in Times Square to ITV. Richard gets out of his system all the adult material he can't use on our family show on 6 Music, and Andrew tries to use up all the jokes he thought up for 7 Day Sunday but couldn't squeeze in. Buy Jim Bob's novel. And thanks for the Cava and Mini-Eggs, Rose.
