  Could You Actually Live In Australia? | Ron #EP164

  Sep 25, 20261h 7m

  Could you actually live in Australia when the wildlife alone sounds like something from a nightmare? And should we be taking the potential dangers of artificial intelligence more seriously? Dan and Ron start by discussing podcast host stereotypes before Dan talks about reconnecting with a friend visiting from Australia. Having completely changed his lifestyle and become sober, Dan explains why seeing an old friend who remembers a very different version of him can feel surprisingly awkward. That leads into whether either of them could actually live in Australia. They discuss the weather, culture, dangerous wildlife and spider ballooning, where spiders use strands of silk to travel through the air. The conversation moves through worldwide fashion and Japanese car culture before turning to AI. Dan and Ron discuss why artificial intelligence has become such a major talking point, the extreme predictions being shared online and whether people really understand what the technology could mean for the future. Finally, The Sh***est Game returns, and this week Dan and Ron have to decide which carrier bag deserves the title.

  Why Ron CAN'T STAND Arsenal & Premier League Predictions | Steven Irani #EP163

  Sep 18, 20261h 16m

  How much can losing 8 stone change your life? And can an Arsenal fan convince Ron that Arsenal aren’t as frustrating to watch as he thinks? Steven Irani joins Dan and Kieran for the first time to discuss his experience with weight loss jabs after starting them in December 2025. Steven explains how his experience has been, the impact losing 8 stone has had on his life and why he feels much happier since making the change. The conversation then turns to regional food after Steven tries his first Parmo during his visit to the North East, leading to a debate about everything from haggis to Blackpool rock. Then football takes over. Steven, Dan and Kieran give their thoughts on the new Premier League season, newly promoted teams, transfers and their predictions for how different clubs could perform. As an Arsenal fan, Steven also finds himself defending his club as Ron explains exactly why he can’t stand watching Arsenal play. Finally, the lads get onto penalties, Panenkas and some of the most ridiculous penalty techniques they’ve seen.

  The Man Who Fell Into Modelling & TV | Les Langley #EP162

  Sep 11, 20261h 22m

  How does working the door of a nightclub lead to modelling, acting and eventually television? Les Langley joins Dan and Ron to tell the story of a career filled with unexpected opportunities and being in the right place at the right time. Les takes us back to his early career in hospitality across the North East before explaining how a chance encounter with a photographer while working at a nightclub unexpectedly opened the door to modelling and extras acting. That eventually led to The North East Football Show , which Les helped take from interviewing people within local football to securing a regular slot on local television. Les also takes us behind the scenes of his involvement with The Surjury , talks about being approached twice for Celebs Go Dating , and explains what life is really like as a hospitality area manager. Later, the conversation turns to the less glamorous side of television and media, including preparing for public scrutiny, having his social media examined before appearing on TV and dealing with negative attention.
