What’s Coming This Episode?

Money is an amplifier. Spend it wisely and you’ll see positive changes in your life. Make some poor decisions and odds are that you’ll spiral downwards. Our relationship with money is programmed into us at an early age but, ultimately, we’re all entrepreneurs of one kind or another.

Thanks again to listener Vide Kadampa for being the inspiration for this week’s show. If there’s anyone else out there that has had similar (or other) thoughts about the show, drop us a line.

In other news, Sean wishes his mother-in-law a happy birthday and is slightly frustrated over the lack of progress on his loft conversion. Here comes the Autumn. Ed might just have taken the best photo of his life but curses the little man who posed for it as he kept our host up all night, meaning that Ed might sound a little more groggy than usual.

Full marks to the listener that spots Sean’s stomach rumbling on one occasion this week. Enjoy the show 🙂

Note from Ed: We ran over a little bit this week – Sean and Ed just couldn’t shut up! Apologies to all who are used to listening on their 30 minutes commute to work! That said, we’ve had a lot of feedback that people would like the show to be longer. Let us know if you agree! 

What’s Coming This Episode?

Let’s be clear from the start: 100% honesty is, thank goodness, completely impossible. Ed starts the debate in typically intellectual fashion by talking about the big budget Jim Carrey movie ‘Liar, Liar’. Being honest 100% of the time will land you in a whole lot of trouble in minutes. From a very early age we test the boundaries of what can and can’t be said, eg. ‘where’s your big fat belly?’ (this will make sense, we promise).

Be sure to check out Ed’s Jack Nicholson impression.

Sean is busy building his loft conversion / recording studio. He’s set himself a TWO MONTH deadline to complete this and we implore all of our loyal listeners to hold him to this. Ed has been out racing his kart again. Joy of joys.

In other news, in turns out that celebrity TV chefs may be way off the mark when it comes to the nutritional excellence of their food. Shock! Horror! Ed is only too happy to talk about a clever chap called Jacque Fresco, the 97 year old visionary and architect. Be sure to look up The Venus Project.

Enjoy the show 🙂

What’s Coming This Episode?

Ah, pornography. We’re all watching (well, 68% of us are apparently) yet no one’s talking about it. Sean and Ed are here to start the debate. A whole generation are growing up with it in their lives and we’re yet to see the consequences. Morality, addiction and censorship are all discussed.

Elsewhere, Sean has been playing with his leftover risotto and reading about brain research, whilst is Ed back from a week in Anglesey with his family. You should go there.

Enjoy the show!

What’s Coming This Episode?

This week we’re grateful as we’e finally on iTunes and a great deal of reviews have begun to appear. Thank you one and all!

Sean goes a little news crazy to begin with but we’ll let him off because he’s got the fitness bug thanks to his ‘Couch to 5K’ regime. Ed talks briefly about the sad news regarding Cory Monteith.

The Male Revolution is here! We men are in trouble emotionally,though, at least according to Sean. Ed, the pedantic dishwasher stacker, thinks he’s pretty advanced – he’s been on a bread making course! Seriously though, the role of the male is under threat: we’re outperformed at school by our female peers, we have higher levels of health issues and even suicide.  We discuss the end of the world very briefly.

Enjoy! Thanks for listening as ever.
