WTFDYW?!
Every Monday our guest tells us What The F*** They Want. Simple concept for a simple podcast.
137: COTY 2025 - Bronze Cup
Send us Fan Mail
It's only Six Months late, I'm doing better than most unexpected pregnancies. Your wonderful host has been busy with real life business and after getting married, continuing to get a house built and playing too many videogames we finally have Cunt of the Year 2025 . . . well, the first part at least.
We ran long. We ran very long. So the executive decision was made to split CotY into three entries, Bronze, Silver and Gold episodes. The following episodes are being edited. Blame CaptJSpaulding, we only talk once a year for this. We t...
136: Cunt of the Year 24
Send us Fan Mail
Okay, I get it, this should have been with you a month ago. Hopefully it was worth the wait as it took CaptainJSpaulding and I two sessions to record your votes for Cunt of the Year 2024 and took even longer to edit it all together.
We count down from the least popular votes up to the tippity top of the Cunt Mountain to crown the ultimate Cunt of the Year for the year of 2024!!
Thanks for listening and hopefully you were mildly entertained and/or insulted.

135: Wake in Fright
Send us Fan Mail
Joined by Ruairi from The More Freedom Foundation Podcast in my crusade to only have Northern Irish guests on the show. We talk about the Ultimate Christmas Movie: Wake in Fright. A look into life as an English Schoolteacher in the Australian Outback. Beer, Animal Abuse and more Beer.

134: Donkey Kong Country
Send us Fan Mail
He vanishes for the guts of a year then releases two episodes back to back? Of course, we had to mark Donkey Kong Country's 30th Birthday after all. We also had to drop the half hour limit on this one; not because the episode is packed with the complete history of the fantastic game. Because we kept wandering off topic and talking utter nonsense.
Music stolen from the DK Jamz soundtrack album.

133: Shannon Matthews the Musical
Send us Fan Mail
Popping my sweary head up during Podcast Hiatus for an incredibly special occasion. Kunt and the Gang have created a fantastic movie called "Shannon Matthews: The Musical: The Movie" which is set to release on Prime Video today!!
Despite what Loose Women might tell you; this jaunty little trip down one of the strangest public spectacles in recent memory should have you grinning like a tipsy toddler.
Kunt walks us through his creative process and how this project moved from CD, to Stage to Film. I must admit, I...
132: Fuck Pixels
Send us Fan Mail
I don't know what this episode is. I was present for it, edited it, listened back to it and I'm just as confused as you probably are right now. Luke Dolsk or "Shite Opinions Dolsk" has returned and instead of talking Conker's Bad Fur Day or Caddyshack 3; he's launched into a hateful half hour that probably should have been binned rather than published. You get what you pay for.
Victims of Circumstance for the closing music this week!!

131: Helldivers II
Send us Fan Mail
I needed an episode that required no notes, research or pretending to care about the subject matter. This week we drop down to a planet of our choosing and slaughter everything in our path . . . or die several times trying. This year's surprise hit, Helldivers II and why you should all be playing it. Joined by fellow Helldiver and Super Earth Patriot SanboneSolo; follow us as he leads the charge and I'll probably drop a mortar to explode the entire team.

130: Mystical Ninja
Send us Fan Mail
The episode that could have been all music and no chatter. This week we mostly look at Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64. Thankfully we just so happen to land on an extended episode, as this wasn't going to fit into thirty minutes. Climbing Mt Fuji, smacking aliens with a pipe and clockwork ninjas; this game has it all.

129: Conspiracy of Fun
Send us Fan Mail
That FKingDreamcastGuy is back for another round of aimless chattering and off brand attempts of humour as we yearn for the good old days of conspiracy theories. Not this modern bollocks being pushed out by failing celebrities, the real stuff. Aliens, Elvis and Bigfoot's mighty fingering techniques.

128: Make Pokémon Great Again
Send us Fan Mail
Pokémon? Again?
Hard to believe it's been over a hundred episodes since we last talked about these beloved Pocket Monsters. Did Game Freak listen to our last episode and take all of the advice on board? Did they Bollocks. James from How to Game Differently joins us this week to stick another boot to the Pokémon company in a bid to get a game we can all be proud of.

127: Lighten The Fuck Up!!
Send us Fan Mail
Time to shake the cobwebs off and get back to making a podcast, I mean, what else is there to life? Average Joe returns and no, of course he's not here just to shill for his Kickstarter!
This week we talk about the need for everybody to simply lighten the fuck up. You're all caught up in your own business and should really settle your little heads and start having more craic. You don't know what craic even is? You're a lost cause. Call in sick, take the day...
126: Cunt of the Year
Send us Fan Mail
The end of year season is always the same, top ten movies, games, books or albums that defined your year. Nobody cares, taste is relative and with taste like you yours, you'd be better suited cleaning your anus like a dog. What doesn't get talked about enough are the biggest cunts of the year. those dreadful souls that only seem to exist to make every one else's' existence misery. We asked the various members of the public to cast their vote and they did. In droves. So much so, we had to go...
125: Jingle All The Way
Send us Fan Mail
It's Christmas and what better way to start your festive time than by sticking this podcast over your Alexa and letting all the family hear the jolly tones of one Lyle Carr? As is now WTFDYW?! tradition, Lyle is here to ring in the fine season with a something near and dear to his heart.
This time, the class Christmas evening shopping nightmare known as Jingle All The Way and we briefly touch on the sequel. HO HO HO! What a load of auld bollocks.

124: Scrubs

This week we take a scalpel, open up the remains of Scrubs and have a good root around at what made it tick. Joining me once again is the beautiful Real Dave Jackson who adds a bit of cinnamon to Punk's vinegar when discussing this particular sitcom.

Another grown man talking about cartoons this week. How come I never get guests that want to talk poetry or classic literature? Scabzilla or Erin or Aaron, joins me this week to talk about the incredibly pleasing Berserk.

122: Uncle
Send us Fan Mail
Hopefully this didn't come up on a search for "Uncle" or "BBC" in your googling attempts to find this show. Philthy of the Ring Sting fame returns to talk about something other than videogames this week. A sitcom with dark humour, cracking songs and a slathering of swearing. Nick Helm's Uncle is the topic for this week's discussion.

We take a look at one of the most exciting chapters in Gaming this week, The Sega Dreamcast!! Sonic broke out into 3D in a big way, the world was invited into your games and there was a little Tamagotchi in your controller. What else could you f**king want?
Our guest this week, one "Andrew J. Dickinson" has the hubris to think they are some sort of authority on the subject. Just because they've done a lot of research, written books and consulted with multiple peers on the console and g...
119: Tenacious D
Send us Fan Mail
We take a trip down to teenage town again where everybody in every region of the globe seemed to be listening to Tenacious D. The Real Dave Jackson returns as we try to decipher why this was the case; in a poorly researched manner. Two idiots doing a podcast on two idiots making an album. It does seem oddly fitting.

118: Monkey Dust
Send us Fan Mail
We go back in time to the early 2000s where there was greed and corruption eating away at the United Kingdom whilst the public were gleefully ignorant and were too busy trying to rid themselves of any shred of decency in some kind of manic race. How things have changed.
This week we look at a dark comedy show which has flown under the radar. One that liked to stop and point at some of the stranger aspects of society and exaggerated it for comic effect. Only to hit closer to ho...

MickSince86 returns for a Hallowe'en or Samhain themed episode as we talk about a dirty little unit that descended from Derry. A different episode this week, but what are you going to do about it?

It can only be the three Punks back again to mutually nerd out of over something they are far too invested in. This week it's the original Fallout title, to mark the day the Bombs fell in this diverged timeline.

ThatFkingGuy returns again this week to talk about how much he loves Goodpods and how reviews should be re-evaluated as their value has gone a bit askew over time. 80% should be the new 50%, it leaves little wiggle room. So we moan an have another one of those podcasts that are only interesting to people that make podcasts. How insular.

Send us Fan Mail
I'll be straight with you here, we were meant to talk about Soul Reaver on this episode but kept getting distracted. We mention the series a bit, kick lumps out of Embracer for playing with our emotions. I keep trying to offend Mick, we talk about the Barras again. We need to stick this Streamer on a leash and stop him from conversationally wandering off. I enjoyed it, don't really care if you do.

To mark the launch of the Lucid Kickstarter today we have the scholar, gentleman and creative gimpanzee Eric from the Matte Black Studio. Once again we have somebody trying to hustle the listener base into throwing money at them. It's pathetic, I'm nearly phoning Ofcom on my own show.
Just as well that Lucid just so happens to look like the Mega Man, Celeste, Metroid crossover that we could only previously fathom in our wildest dreams, come to life. A Metroidvania, Action RPG with a...

We have a Trio of defects who are slaves to the beat this week: DeadbeatpunK is joined by Modern Escapism's very own rockstars of yore: Stig and Gadget!!
They want to talk about this year's sleeper hit Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythm based action game developed by the bright sparks at Tango Gameworks and just appeared out of the blue on Game Pass. Spoiler Free as we could manage, it's mostly a trio of man children geeking out over robots and smashing them.
This was recorded before we lost Stig...

The Summer is over and it's time to get back to work, if work was shouting at people. Which it actually is, both here and on our subject this week. Yes Cousin, we talk FX/Hulu/Disney's culinary based dramatic series The Bear. HANDS!? Why nobody else but dear sweet Philthy: who has probably dreamed about sticking a knife in my arse more than once.
That wasn't intended as a euphemism.

The fun you can have with a little toy in your hand. Game Boys are no stranger to the WTFDYW?! Show, but this episode focuses on the 32-bit wonder that was the Game Boy Advance. Joining me this week is Stormageddon who also shares a passion so intense it could warp AA batteries.
Also, it is time for the host's time to retire for a while. Drinking under bridges, fighting with traffic and stealing streetlights is how he recharges his creative juices and all these activities require a certain amount of j...
109: Pop Culture Bollocks
Send us Fan Mail
Shane makes his return this week to lampoon nearly everybody that has been on the show before. Kinda. It's an aimless episode, I don't think either of us came away knowing what he actually wanted. He doesn't like comic conventions, despite never going to one. Not too pushed on tech showcases and definitely won't be joining me in the Bethesda Woo Guy try-outs.

Really have to stop dragging people in last minute, CaptainJSpaulding got roped in again last minute and gets nothing but bad manners for the privilege. We return to Terry Pratchett's Discworld and explore the possibility of future Computer Games around the subject matter. Sort of. We talk an awful amount of bollocks in between it all too.

Time makes a mockery of us all and Stig wants more of it. He wanted more time but what he got was further mockery. There are so many things to accomplish and so little time. So we ponder a new world where time breaks out of its flat circle and becomes a bit more flexible.

Duke Nukem has been out of action for a long time. Too long a time. Sadly Duke is remembered as more of a meme than the hero of an action packed series. Dated attitudes and quips from a bygone era. What if we could remedy that, could Duke be rebooted for a modern audience? Well NorthmanRob and his plus one are certainly going to try.

A week of mourning as we place coins over the peepers of E3, the Nerd Christmas, Geek Kwanzaa or Loserpalooza as I have taken to calling it. A Gaming convention that happened once a year and blew our socks off with reveals, news and some of the most awkward displays of human interaction you could ever make memes out of.
