Episode 95 – Monkey Fudge

There’s a fair bit of cheese chat in the episode, not planned, but in the spirit of transparency we feel it only fair to warn you upfront. Al surprises everyone by actually delivering on a promise he made once upon a time, Dean discloses his bean blindness diagnoses, and we talk lies. Dirty, rotten lies. So, set your pants on fire, but whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Episode 94 – Drive Angry

Pressure. Pushing down on you, pressing down on me…no man ask for. Not our words, but the words of uber legends Freddie Mercury and David Bowie. Although, I’m not sure how much road rage they experienced from the comfort of their chauffeur driven limousines. But what a song, eh? A mixed bag this episode as we tackle the high pressure world of fine dining, a massive fall from grace, a K-Pop Demon…

Episode 93 – Goodbye Ozzy

The words National Treasure are becoming an increasingly overused phrase, usually reserved for aging Dames and Great British Bake-off presenters. But the passing of a real legend reminds us of the true meaning this title, and the outpouring of grief, love and adoration on the sad news of Ozzy Osbourne’s death just goes to show the impact he and his music had on the world. R.I.P. Prince of…

Episode 92 – 28 Beers Later

Whether it’s a barren Zombie infested wasteland, or an aging 80’s TV presenter, there’s always something waiting around the corner to bleed you dry. Not a happy thought but a life lesson non-the -less. So, yeah…think on that. Oh…and Dean shoots a duck. So, make mine a Guiness, but whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Play

Episode 91 – Don’t Start With The A-Hole

Hello! How have you been? Ah…sorry to hear that, but enough about you. We’ve got a bumper podcast to get through so strap in. Allen tells us about his trip to Alton Towers, and what rides he chickened out from. Pete uncovers the latest about the new Universal Theme park due to open this Summer in Florida, and Dean still struggles to understand what or where his Alexa is. Add to this memories of…

Episode 90 – Gladiators Ready!

Friends…Listeners…Podcasters…Lend us your lugholes! That, dear listeners, is the war cry of someone who’s just watched Gladiator 2, or II, if you’re of the TikTok generation. And as we walk, wearily, away from the blood drenched sands of the colosseum, our attentions are once again drawn to the comforting glow of our TV screens. From Dean’s views on Sky’s Dune: Prophecy (Game of Space Thrones) to…

Episode 89 – Jazz Cabbage

If you go down to the woods today you may be in for a big surprise…but if you hear the distant sound of a duelling banjo then you’d better get out of there sharpish. Yes, that’s right, Dean’s watched Deliverance for the first time! And staying with the theme of things that are dead old, we’re getting all nostalgic about the 80’s (again). So, whether you’re a Blue Thunder fan, or you’re nutty for…

Play

Episode 88 – The Days Of Yawn

From Penguins to dancing bears, this episode has it all. Think Harrison Ford went off the boil after Temple of Doom? Think Again. Think Al would make a good Robin Hood? You’re wrong. But if you’re thinking that the guys have seen a bucket load of movies and box sets to mull over in Deano’s kitchen (he’s been kicked out of his shed) then you’re bang right! From Joker 2 to Speak No Evil, from Blink…

Play

Episode 87 – Marvel Jesus

I’m going be straight up with you, this episode may be a little Marvel heavy for the casual listener. But let’s be honest, if you’re still listening 87 episodes in then you know what to expect. But it isn’t all about Deadpool & Wolverine. There’s also Olympics chat, Trans sports musings, breakdancing and spin classes. Oh, and something about Robert Downey Jr and a Dr. Doom? Lets Fu@king Go! So,…

Play

Episode 86 – Across The Pooniverse

Yes, we can talk about the heroic efforts of the England squad in the Euros. Yes, we can talk about our high hopes for Deadpool & Wolverine. But all of this, surely, pales into insignificance when compared to the sheer heft of Deano’s snoring problem. Listen and learn. We also throw into the mix bloody Roman battles, a murderous honey loving bear, and a missing truffle snuffling pig. BOOM! So,…

Play

Episode 85 – Merry Christmas You Filthy Animals

It’s that time of year again. Doesn’t it half come round quick!? That time when we all say that it’s doesn’t feel at all Christmassy. But its here so deal with it. So, to continue the un-festive feel, this episode sees Pete talk about his trip to Mexico, Dean has a fall and Allen…well…Al does what he does. So, wrap your pigs in blankets, but whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Play

Episode 84 – Living In Eternia

What are sweetbreads? What is a Bisto dip? Does Eternia have a DFS? These are just some of the questions asked in this meaty episode as Pete gets busy chomping on a cows face, Dean tries to buy Slipknot tickets and Al discovers, much to his horror, what Haggis is really made from. It’s truly offal. So, pre-heat the oven to 180c , but whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Play

Episode 83 – Nutty Putty Hell Hole

There are many ways to go. Most of us would like to think that we’ll slip away in our sleep at a ripe old age, surrounded by family and loved ones. But some, misguided, adventurous fools, will die screaming while being nadgered by a shark, or fall head first into a one-way chasm of death. Not us. I can tell you that for nowt. So, while Dean scares us silly with the story of the Nutty Putty Caving…

Episode 82 - The Tube Nut Whisperer

There’s nothing more attractive than a man who knows how to handle his tool. A man who knows his Tube Nuts from his flange bolt thingy. Yes, creating fire from scratch can be impressive, but can you use a bubble wotsit to sort that wonky shelf? No? That’s what Dads are for. So, with that said, we also have belated Oscar chat (we’re working on it!), American Wrestling, and talk about our favourite…

Episode 81 - Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Now look here. DGO are not ones to preach (much), but now and again there are important topics that need to be addressed and the stigma around men getting their prostate checked is one such issue. Yes…we’ve gone there. But it’s not all serious back door talk. There’s also movie reviews, Hedgehog attacks and offal chat. What’s not to like? So, lie on your side and lift your knees up to your chest,…

Episode 80 – The Big Five

In order for any society to thrive there needs to be stability, an order to things. You can’t have people changing things willy-Nilly, making up their own rules and challenging the Status Quo when they feel like it. Well, you can when it’s absolutely necessary, but some things are not up for change and the Great British mixed grill is one of those things! At last this raging hot potato is tackled…

Episode 79 – The Devil’s Glow Sticks

Want to hear Dean talk about his trip to New York? “Fuhgeddaboudit!” Want to hear Allen’s secret to making the perfect ‘slaw’? “Hey! I’m walking here!” This episode has these, and other bits, cleverly edited together to make them sort of make sense. We’re talking parking ticket Hell, whale sperm theories de-bunked, and killer cartoon bears. Add to that Apocalypse Clowns, Killers of the Flower Moon…

Episode 78 – Oh, The Hugh Manatee!

Birthdays are something to celebrate. Whether you go for a family meal, a classy wine tasting or a naked bungee jump in the Aldi carpark, they should be treasured. Especially when you get to the age of these three codgers. As Dean marks his milestone, we also hear of his interest, and complete bafflement, in the world of wine. What? How much? Why? Pete tells of his first dining in the dark…

Episode 77 – A Henchman’s Gonna Hench

“I’ll be back.” “Get to the chopper!” “I did not get my maid pregnant.” These are just a few quotes from arguably one of the greatest action stars, and indeed Arnolds, of all time…Schwarzenegger! From his best bangers to his worst clangers, we hear the guys favourites and guilty pleasures. You know what they say…One man’s Terminator is another’s Jingle All The Way. Other topics covered may also…

Episode 76 - The Frothy B'stard

We all love walking into our favourite pub. The friendly barman / woman pouring you a well-earned pint of your usual / small sherry, putting your favourite song on the jukebox, pig snacks in hand waiting for the wave machine to start. Bliss! This episode sees the boys discuss their dream pubs, Armie Hammer, and waving Chinese bears. The perfect trio. So, pour yourself a frosty one, settle in by…

Play

Episode 75 – Tutankhamoooon!

This episode takes us to the land of the Pharaohs, the Great Pyramids…The home of the Mummy! What is an Egypt? We’ll find out. In other matters, Allen suffers a dirty great spider bite, but unfortunately is not imbued with the super-powers of a spider…although he did get stuck in the bath for three days. So, brush the sand out of your Valley of the Kings, but whatever you do…Don’t Go Outside!

Episode 74 - Kiss Of The Vampire

As Dean and Pete say goodbye to their long time top band Kiss (for the second time), and Allen laments on the demise of The Arctic Monkeys, our thought take a darker turn. We hark back to those late nights, many years ago, when your parents let you stay up past your bedtime to watch the Fright Night double bill. Whether it was Christopher Lee’s count that gave you the colly-wobbles, or Salem’s…

Episode 73 – Talking about A.I, Aye Eye?

Have ever had the feeling that you’re not alone? That someone might be listening in to your conversations? Ever wondered how you only have to mention to someone that you might be thinking of buying a new pair of trainers, only to find your social media feeds flooded with ads for shiny new sneakers? Coincidence? Or could it be Alexa sitting over there…listening? As we grow ever more reliant on A.I…

Episode 72 – Death Race

We all remember our first car. Whether it was a rusty old hand me down, or brand new straight of the garage forecourt, the bond with your first motor is one that you take to the grave. Unless you die in a fireball crash on the M6 motorway…then you can be forgiven if the relationship cools a little. As Queen’s Roger Taylor once strangely sang…” I’m in love with my car”. But would he have loved it…

Episode 71 - Skool Daze

For some, school was an idyllic time, full of laughter, games and an enjoyable way to quench that never-ending thirst for knowledge. For others it was grim prison sentence, full of forgotten homework, painful wedgie’s and an unparalleled awkwardness around girls. Either way, it’s over now, so we can safely look back and ask those all important questions about things we just took for granted at the…

Episode 70 – The Bucket List

As we creep every closer to our inevitable demise, let us reflect on what we have achieved. Some of us, I’m sure would have done great things, seen unimaginable sights, traveled the globe and will rest easy knowing that they have made the world a better place for those that follow. And then there are the rest of us that have done pretty much sweet FA. Now might be a good time to change that.…

Episode 69 – Bad To The Bone

As a controversial Pop megastar once asked…Who’s bad? Some might answer “You Michael”, while other, blindly optimistic, people would look to the wide, wide world of TV and film for their answer. And well they might, as we all love a good baddie. From Bond to Coronation Street there are hundreds of real wrong ‘uns ready to do someone wrong. In this episode the guys give their verdict on who they…

Episode 68 – Beef Encounters Of The Herd Kind

Episode 63 - Eye Of The Tatter

The week we lost Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (Mam as in jam), the guys take time to reflect on what was, to some, a fittingly right Royal send off, but to others a huge waste of tax payers money in a time of financial crisis and uncertainty. Which camp are we pitching our tents? But it’s not all crowns and coffins. We also talk about Dean’s social media misunderstanding, movie remakes that…

Episode 58 – Dedication…That’s What You Need

With Allen otherwise engaged in pursuing his lifelong ambition to create a world record, it’s left to Dean and Pete to steer this shabby looking ship into calmer waters. And as Pete’s got a bit of a cold that mainly leaves Dean to carry the load. But it’s not all bad news…we got to go back to the cinema! We’ve got Marvel’s Black Widow, DC’s The Suicide Squad and M. Night Shyamalan’s Old to talk…
