Jo & Sparky ”Off the Radio”

Happy Monday, people!
 
How was your Halloween weekend? What was your costume, and did you have a theme? Sparky's family had one, but Jo missed it. That wasn't all she missed; more on that in the episode. 
We have a listener question about pumpkins. 
We have a very important conversation about duvets, and we want your input! Sparky's wife has mentioned coverless duvets, and he needs feedback. 
Imagine what listening to this podcast would be like while you're on morphine? You don't have to imagine, because we get a message from someone listening while medicated. Ha! 
We of course play Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs.

Happy Monday,
How good are you at finding a deal for your holiday? Sparky is sharing his tips for finding a cheap flight. 
It always comes down to money with us. So we start making suggestions to the prime minister. 
Jo is overexcited about a Teams call with the NHS. She's more excited than any other patient signed up for these meetings about pre-diabetes. 
Sparky nearly gives away Guess the year after giving the clues. 
More train etiquette conversations. If someone has headphones on, is it ever ok to try to speak to them? 
Gen Z come under fire again. Shock horror. Are boomers better?

Happy Monday, people. 
Standard Jo, we start the episode with drama. She's been involved in fraud this week. 
That leads us to a conversation about the biggest rigmarole for what should be the simplest thing. This could definitely become a new thread, so send your stories.
We get an international Celebs in the Wild story. Involving a soap star. 
When you get drama on the train, you're starting to think of us. Ranting about trains has become as popular as bin chat on this podcast. 
And of course we play Kids Tell Fibs and Guess the Year.

Happy Monday, 
Have you ever stayed at someone's house and envied something they own? Jo's been house-sitting and fancies adding something new to her kitchen. 
Are you much more relaxed about things when someone else is paying? 
Sparky is asking for your help. He's still the new guy at work and is looking to you to help him impress his bosses. 
We get a pasta update from Producer Harvey. Maybe he's getting too adventurous. 
Still, your odd condiment quirks keep coming in. One of today's is described as a VIOLATION! 
How do you pronounce Bolognaise? It will determine how posh you are? 
Of course we play Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs.

We've got our fingers crossed for this episode, because an alert came up before we started recording, so we didn't know if would record... 
Sparky kicks off the episode (pun intended) with the full rundown on his new life as a football coach. (Cheerleader for kids) Will he be the new Ted Lasso? 
Jo's hyped for Snoopy merch at Starbucks.. So she's recruiting you to keep an eye out for it. 
What happens if the emergency alert goes off on your phone, but comes up in a different language? 
Some more things that annoy you, but really don't affect you. 
The most expensive toothbrush in the world.

Happy Monday! 
We need to start with an apology. We are not trying to take your money unlawfully. Jo explains what Patreon has done... Because we're passing the blame to Patreon. 
Also, the podcast was interrupted at the start due to a small emergency next door to Sparky's house. 
We talk about skip diving, some more things that annoy you, but are really none of your business. Jo creates a game about how ridiculous the train service is in this country. 
Plus the classics: Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs.
