This week the boys are back with more serious business scooped from the bowels of the internet, starting with Andrew Tate continuing his Kickboxing career in prison by taking on opponents from beyond the grave. In other news Dan is sick to death of the lack of mystery in the world and has a well thought out business plan to combat this; secret passageways. The results are in and Steve thinks the best way to save the world this week is the 4 day work week, it's simple really, less work = more fun. Other serious business: - People who think they're attractive aren't phased by deadly viruses - If you don't find the term 'floppy disk' funny then you're officially old - Dan got drunk and ordered excessive amounts of Subway. 00:00 Introduction 07:57 Steve Saves the World 14:59 Dragons Den 24:27 What's On Your Mind? 28:41 This Weeks Headlines

DATING your car, male contraception pills and kicking the beer for lent! It's episode three and the serious business keeps on coming! This week the boys are a bit 'fruity'. Dan has once again delved into the world of reality TV proposing a new dating show, the twist being that all of the contestants are in love with inanimate objects (many of them VW Beetles). Steve has been pondering everyone's bedroom habits and has decided to remind everyone we NEED a male contraceptive pill, it's time to help out the ladies. In a shocking revelation Steve has decided to give up the love of his life for lent, and it sounds like Dan is just giving up.

Do you want to know how to style the PERFECT look? Should we be limiting Twitter rants and are ALIENS blowing over in the wind!?

This week on The Serious Business Podcast the boys are back to talk life, death, news and nonsense. Steve has donned a shirt in order to impress his mother. Dan reports back on his valentines day and his close encounter with a big hunk of meat (despite his reservations he did it to make real fiance happy).

Dan is tired of waiting for people to get ready and has come up with a dystopian AI that takes all the joy out of dressing yourself and enforces strict instructions on how to be 'nearly' perfect. In order to save the world Steve would ideally turn off twitter, but knowing that would create global uproar he has a more conservative credits-based system to hopefully stop people talking so much bollocks.

Other serious business:

• Our mate China can't keep control of their balloons
• Is it our god given right to be naked in public?
• The reunion of a famous seven-piece band brings back traumatic memories for Steve. Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube @theseriousbusinesspodcast for more!

The boys are BACK for season 2 of the Serious Business Podcast, but this time they're also on YouTube, in all their high-res, colour corrected glory. To kick off the first episode of Season 2, Steve goes for a double whammy, taking on climate change, eco-activism and many people's perfectly 'legitimate concerns with immigration policy' in another effort to save the world. In the light of the recent railway strikes, Dan proposes yet another business idea to help keep frustrated commuters calm and in turn save their families from their wrath. The Grammys have come around once again and Steve doesn't give a shit, but if he doesn't care so much why is he taking pot shots at our beloved Harry Styles? Other serious business - - Priest CONFIRMS that Rihanna is Satan's right-hand woman. - Woman is raised from the dead in Iowa, this is the second time this has happened. - Dan made a special omelette at the weekend.

Lesson of the week: If someone tells you not to read a book, go ahead and read it anyway. Unless it's about the history of coaches and buses in North East England or something boring like that, you can get rid of that. We're also getting rid of Rick and Morty because apparently, the creator's a nonce.

Steve's jumping to invest in Dan's business idea this week and it's a good one, the Shower with Drying Power. No more soaking wet bath mats! The boys also try to get to the bottom of a zoo animal mystery as many of them have escaped under suspicious circumstances... Animal rights activists or bored monkeys? Conspiracy theory? Cue the jingle.

More serious stuff:

• The shocking truth about Sheffield: Hot single men really do live there
• Velma being the lowest-rated show probably ever. (Embarrassing)
• Facial recognition on rats! To kill them though. Sorry vegans.

And that's a wrap on Season 1! Let us know what you'd like to see for Season 2 apart from our faces, you're already getting those. See you next week!

We've got one very important question this week: What happened to Dan on Saturday Night?? He won't admit it, but Steve's a bit jealous after hearing Dan got smashed with a bunch of strangers and came back with some new besties. Maybe Dan can make up for it with his business idea this week as he's solving the egg shortage crisis with his Domesticated Chickens Service. It's well cute. Steve's lowering housing costs with graffiti as well as saving the world by showing people a whole new perspective. Basically, he's making you scroll through a Trump supporter's For You page. Sounds vile but it's all in the name of empathy.

More serious bits:

• Dead man walking in a restaurant TV ad or a mistaken grief-stricken widow OR good ole fashioned capitalism?
• Catfish the TV Show is now Emotional Cheating in the Metaverse apparently
• A pig "accidentally" murders his butcher before he's turned into lunch

There's also a guy lost at sea who survives solely on ketchup, garlic powder and stock cubes. Yum.

The time has officially come. Someone's stolen Dan's business idea in REAL-TIME. And no he didn't just invent the already existing Smart Kettle that you can purchase on Amazon and have delivered tomorrow. That would be silly.

As you may know, Steve ended racism a couple of weeks ago and now he's tackling animal cruelty in zoos using holograms. Can you see where we're going with this? It's got a bloody good name too. That's a lot of creativity for someone who didn't know ABBA was still alive. We've also got some wild headlines of the week including some very inappropriate noises on Match of the Day and Americans attempting to change the actual law of maths because "it's just easier".

More serious stuff:

• The robbery is real this week - another one of our business ideas has just been released in America
• Steve's alarming recurring dream that he definitely needs a therapist for
• You can win the lottery twice??

Steve's got long hair now. Don't worry he'll post a pic if he's feeling cute, might delete later x

Steve's year hasn't started off too well, he might still be a little hungover and he's convinced himself that "close but no banana" is a real phrase. We're still figuring that one out. Dan's got your new years resolution to keep fit this year in the bag with his Sheltered Bikes business idea. Love cycling but hate the weather? You've got no excuses now. Oh, and Steve's started a new religion (see: cult) to save the world. Introducing Steveism, coming soon to a Waterstones near you. Waterstones? What's that got to do with Steve's religion (see: cult)? It's a long story just listen to the episode. Enjoy the madness.

Even more serious things:

• Dan and Steve go head to head in the battle of whether sherry should still be a thing
• Dolphins passing pufferfish round like a spliff
• Bowling is so 2022. New manly sport for 2023: Badminton!

If you see Steve planting his scriptures in the non-fiction aisle of a Waterstones, it's probably best just to calmly walk the other way.

It'sss Christmasss! It's a special one this, we've gone all out with a spinning wheel, lots of festive chat and even a live studio audience with real fiance and real girlfriend. They have officially been confirmed to be real.

Steve's doing the Lord's work (as Jesus would have wanted at this time of year) and informs us all of the dangers of Christmas in the aptly named 12 Mishaps of Christmas. The numbers aren't looking good for the number of deaths as a result of shopping during the sales and watering Christmas trees… And Dan visits that strange other world across the pond again where a truckload of onions are on fire and an explosive gets stuck up a guy's bum.

More serious but festive things:

• We discuss our festive favourites! Songs, movies, food and more
• Escape rooms but make it espionage
• Another round of the invention mention! (You can definitely get this one)

Did you know a quarter of all toy sales are just adults buying them for themselves? Go on treat yourself to the slime, no one will know… Merry Christmas!

After a cheeky week off, Dan and Steve are back to tackle the real stuff. Racism? What's that? That's what they'll say when the world implements Steve's latest genius idea to stop the Susan Husseys of the world from asking "Where are you *really* from?" In more things you should never do news, we hear the Americans are at it again with taking up licking toads for fun. You definitely read that right. Dan's also got a seriously good business idea for those of you who hate remembering birthdays. The name needs a little work though… Tune in quick before someone steals our ideas! Again!

More serious things:

• Lifeless body or art installation?
• The really sad origin story of how t-shirts were invented (men, you should be ashamed of yourselves)
• The toughest Christmas dilemma: Who do you spend Christmas with if you're in a relationship?

We also need you to answer a very serious question after you listen! Who would win? The grumblers or the squeakers? Let us know!
