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.

Happy Bank Holiday Monday... Or whenever you're catching up. 
 
In this episode, we explain the new era of the podcast going forward and what you can expect after some slight changes. 
If you love a dramatic, scandalous documentary, we've got some early recommendations for you. 
Sparky's been on an all-day sesh and has found the best game at the Old Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham. 
What annoys you that doesn't directly affect you? 
We discuss the great Mars bar scandal that Sparky has spotted online, which reminds us of a time when we worked in radio, and a Mars bar nearly caused a whole radio station to be closed down.

Happy Monday, Ducks
 
Welcome to another week. In the busyness of everything at the moment, we have to do the catch-up we normally do before recording the actual episode. 
But it could end up helping. Jo wants ideas on what to get Sparky's son Hendrix for his 3rd birthday... Suggestions welcome. 
 
Does your eating change when your partner is away?? Sparky went a bit mad last week. Have you got any stories like this? 
Jo's forgotten something pretty important for her working week down in London, and it actually looks pretty convenient that she forgot that specific item. 
It nearly kicks off about the eclipse again.
And Charles has a wild suggestion to fix the current issue we have with the podcast. 
 
We play Guess the Year and Kids Tell Fibs as well. 
 
Enjoy

Errrr... what's this? An episode on a Tuesday?! 
Sorry it's late, but here it is. 
Sparky is buzzing off the back of Gloworm Festival. He's had a big weekend with the wife and kids, and he's most happy about working with a certain celebrity dog. 
Jo's been on her niece's big hen do in Madrid... And it's safe to say, it didn't come without drama.
Then, of course, we need to get into your thoughts on the conversation we had on last week's episode "We need to talk" 
You haven't held back!!

Happy Monday, People! 
Jo's having a very fun Monday. As this podcast goes out, Jo is on her way to a hen do in Madrid! BUT, she's made an error when booking the flights... Wait until you hear what she's having to do on the way home... 
Sparky is being strong-armed into buying something by his wife. Have you got a walking pad? What are your thoughts?? 
Owen, age 15's Mum (Carolyn) has been in touch, and it turns out Sparky has more in common with a 15-year-old than he realises. 
We learn some hacks to make it look like you're busy at work when you're actually not. 
And the ultimate repeat excuse for being late for work! 
Would you judge someone who doesn't like condiments? Like NO KETCHUP?! 
Also, "Can we have a chat?" We genuinely need some feedback from you? So don't be shy to drop us a message. This is your opportunity to have your say. 
Our inbox is open on Facebook and Instagram. 
Lots of love

Happy Monday, Duck!
Are we happy with third for the World Cup? Of course, we can even make going 4-nil up a stressful situation for the country. 
Sparky's been to London over the weekend and ended up at the dogs. When was the last time you went to the greyhound racing? Got to love those drink prices. 
Jo thinks everyone should watch the new Katie Price documentary. 
Jo gets ailment advice from Sammi. Apparently it's all about making the most of an MRI scan...
There is outrage at the new reward scheme from Octopus Energy. Jo and Listener Kate are livid.... Who knew trying to get a free coffee was such hard work...
