Soooo... We're actually back on the pod, for real this time! Liam and Kevin have finally come back together to give out episode no. 30 and to be honest, who'd have thought we would've stuck with it this long [not us].

10/05/2024

We've done it, we've finally found another guest to pop on. Everyone, meet Evie. Today's guest is a work mate of Liam's, but is an absolute character in her own right. Eva would have no problem in calling out the two lads on their shit and keeping them in line. We said last week that we were going to keep it a little more PG, but that went straight out the window as Kev says the 'W' word within the first 8 minutes. With the help of Evie, the two guys create a new section, ''Under The Bus'' where we have...
