Listened to the latest one and honestly cannot ever remember either of the boys mentioning this coffee bloke before. He's fine but it went on a bit much.

Also like the Dave feature but this week's Dave was a bit much...

Liking the Great Reset but not the best episode. Hoping for a guest-lite ep on Friday
I didn’t really understand the coffee bit and agree this week’s Dave was a strange one

Made Up Games was fab! It was a bit chaotic at times but I think that just made it even funnier. Deffo some bants between Lou and John, still not 100% sure if they're banging but my sister thinks they are... Guest host was Rachel Parris who I really liked (even if she didn't have a clue what was going on half the time), Lou (shock horror) and a woman who's name I forget... sorry! Will ETA if it comes to me. If you get a chance to see it, I would recommend, although I think it's quite London based at the moment.
Lou is also friends (or friendly?) with his ex Coco (as Lou, Coco, Ivo, Alex Kealy and some other friends all went to Self Esteem together for the Gig Pigs podcast).

Oh wow.. do we know who the friend might be?

Agree.. those sorts of things shouldn’t be aired on Twitter first, if you know the person.
Hard to say... but i would love to know

I get the impression she was just reacting to a public statement and wanted to call him out publicly, seeing it as quite hypocritical. I mean, who knows what's going on in the lives of others? We can only speculate.

I know, I somehow missed that she was trying with JR before her current husband and thought that must have been incredibly difficult for him (as well as her, obviously)
Yeah that’s interesting because he often talks about how he doesn’t have paternal urges etc.

As someone who has just been through IVF… it’s a brutal ride, even when it ends well.

I’m so looking forward to seeing Howl, love that (almost?) everyone here is going. Could do with a laugh…

my anxiety is at an all time high. Every time my FTBF is driving somewhere I’m convinced he’s going to get into an accident. Last night when I was on my way home to him I was imagining him dead at home, specifically dying by suicide and how he’d have done it. Whenever my mum calls I assume someone in the family is dead. If a virtual meeting starts late I’ll frantically check and re check the link, convinced I’ve got it wrong. So big and little things. It is fucking exhausting. I’m having therapy for OCD at the mo and don’t feel like I can tackle this at the same time.

missing HYDC at the mo as the mental health related eps make me feel less alone with it all. Does anyone know of any similar pods that talk about MH stories in a similar way?
Hello you hammer legend!

I don't know any other MH pods, but I just wanted to send my 💛. You can always chat here, and that may help. Getting your thoughts out always helps me. Sometimes I write things down, others I send myself a voicenote. Sometimes I find just getting it out of my head (and not necessarily to anyone else) helps.

Thinking if you.

Thought of another similar poop story
Someone put their poop in. A cat litter tray instead of a bag
But the cat died last week 😂😂😂

IT'S JANUARY WHICH MEANS ITS HOT ELIS ON THE CALENDAR! OOFT.

I've been waiting for this since April 🙌🏽
It’s the “something to do with receipt spikes might work?” that I love. As someone who has worked in the creative sphere for a long time, I appreciate the “is this an idea?” tone of the suggestion. 🤣

this weeks ep… anyone know what the poo in a bag story is?!
Have you never heard the poo in a bag story?

There's loads of variations but the one I know is...

A girl was on a date and had to go to the bathroom for a number two. She had to get rid of it by using a plastic bag.

I can't remember where she then kept it but it was her thinking to take it away with her the next day.

Her companion left for work and left her sleeping. Before she left she got ready etc and as she was gathering her things she had left the poo on the bag on the side / kitchen sideboard or something.

She then left the house... inadvertently leaving the poo on the bag on the side.

There's other versions though. There's one about throwing the bag out the window and it landing in a tree. There's another about throwing it out of the window and it landing on a flatmate.

Hey! I'm a comedy geek and I'm not 100% sure but I *think* I found out about through Josh Widdicomb's old XFM show - either they filled in for him or were mentioned at some point. The first time I listened was quite early on but I got the impression it was about football and didn't give it a chance. Tried it again a while later and was hooked!

I got really sad when we thought it was getting cancelled so I weaned myself off and haven't listened to many on 5 live. I definitely need to fix that!

🍉 I was once on the 5 live show once talking about how I've never touched my own belly button. Elis said it was his favourite phone call of all time and Naga Munchetty did a show about it!
OMG I remember that episode 😂 That's amazing. What was the Naga Munchetty show?!

I came up with a Made up Game in my sleep once - I did tweet it to Dave and he 'liked' it 🍉 but I don't think it ever made the show. It was something about using the What 3 Words app - so one of them would choose 3 words and the other would guess the location. Whoever was closest geographically to the correct location would get a point. Might have to resubmit it 😁.

The 5 Live ones are brilliant - please do go back and listen to them. The isolation tapes in lockdown are really good. And they did loads of random extra episodes to fulfil contract obligations. So they did things like an escape room, crazy golf and towards the end of lockdown they met outside in a pub, which was equal parts adorable and hilarious.

Derailing already but have you listened to any of their other stuff? I dip my toe into the pub one, but John's whimsical language gets a bit much so I do skip quite a lot of it 🤣. The lovely Robin does indeed seem lovely.

Pappys flat share slam down.
John did Isy’s short lived ‘the things we do for love’
Elis has like 3 other podcasts anyway.
