Episode 122: Holding Out For A Weirdo

It is with faces set and pale that the chaps arrive at the Happy Place this week - for the news is far from spiffing. Well; some of it might be spiffing-adjacent, in fairness - but the long-term outlook is distinctly bleak. Not only do Foxy and Arkham reveal the world of politics' biggest and dirtiest secret (you will be flabbergasted, rest assured), they bring tidings from the Youth that are a mite grim.

Episode 121: Breathe In That Unique, Compelling Musk - As though you have a choice in the matter...

This week sees the chaps lamenting the absence of other voices from the podcast while pointing out that in their view (because the right to express any opinion on the internet should be staunchly upheld and should not result in any real-life consequences) one voice is perhaps a little too ubiquitous.

Episode 120: Auld Lang Syne of a Shocking Indifference to the Wider World

While hysterical speculation and doomsaying grips 't'interweb, the chaps resume their respective positions in their snowbound Happy Place and declare 2025 open for Business As Usual and ponder why more people don't. Needless to say, they come to no conclusion that redounds to the credit of Western Civilisation in any meaningful way. Cheers, cats and kittens - and here's to more or less (preferably less) of the same in the New Year, eh what?

Episode 119: Getting Back Into It

As Foxy adjusts to life without coughing fits that come perilously close to bouts of projectile vomiting - and Arkham adjusts to Foxy's adjustments - the chaps take the easy option by dissecting The King's Speech. It doesn't take long: there was probably more meat in the vegan mushroom Wellington that served as Christmas Dinner. Still; gently does it, eh what?

Sicknote

Foxy is rather under the weather - though Arkham remains full of beans, you'll be happy to hear. Unfortunately for those keen on regular audio content, this minor indisposition has led to an Agonising Reappraisal of personal health and wellness; and thus a difficult decision has been reached that means things are going to be rather quiet around the Happy Place for a while. The chaps will be back soon though - you have their word on't.

Episode 118: Placed In A Difficult Position

A gathering storm of Democracy looks set to sweep away the Old Order, and the Establishment's minions are apparently filling their silken undergarments on the hour at the prospect. Small wonder then that the chaps have sought refuge from the political turbulence that an online petition has wrought upon the Nation in their Happy Place. How will all this shake out, they wonder? Change is a-coming, cats and kittens - or, you know, it isn't...

Episode 117: 'Twas The Month Before Christmas...

Having been imprisoned by torrential rain over the weekend, Foxy and Arkham find themselves positively giddy with joy to be out and about once more - and with the Culture War's Sugar Plum Fairy sprinkling discord and stupidity hither and yon, they're even more delighted. Join them for an early celebration of all that's base and cretinous about the pre-Festive Season, cats and kittens - and you too will Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day.

Episode 116: Old McDonald Had A Point (Did-'E-Really-Though?)

A hectic week of terror, despair, and outlandish conspiracy theories leave the chaps weary, breathless, and more than a little shell-shocked - but ultimately defiant - as they vow to maintain their cataract-blurred vigil on the State Of Things this week. Rather melodramatic, obviously; but if there's one thing this week has taught us all, it's that people do enjoy a scary story - be it the End of the World OR people having to pay tax. Chilling, n'est-c'est-ce-pas?

Episode 115: A Little Bird Told Me...

Some sad news causes an unwonted lack of professionalism today as the chaps in the Happy Place come dangerously close to showing a little too explicitly how the sausage is made. In other news: events conspire to form a metaphor as shitty and half-baked as any the Silver Fox has devised as thoughts turn to World War III - which seems to bother people a bit.

Episode 114: Two Vast And Soulless Piles of Crap

The Happy Place resonates to the unusual sounds of celebration this week as the chaps ponder the downfall of two utter shitehawks who claim - with varying (though damned little) degrees of credibility - to have been touched by the Divine.
