Show Notes

This week, Mark arrives glowing with five layers of suncream after climbing 111 tube-station steps for the sake of his shorts, while Denis recounts the horror of being fully stuck in a lift. From there, they spiral into the true gauntlet of modern life: helping Irish parents with online banking. Denis spends six and a half hours trying to get his dad to charge an old phone, open an app, ignore the barking dogs and stop pretending to be “changing trains.

We also cover:

• country undertakers who moonlight as council workers
• the wild things people say to you at funerals (“we never knew…”)
• Lisa’s Final Destination fall: the slipper launch, the cartoon leg-flail and Denis diving like an Olympic lifeguard
• nieces visiting London and questioning why Mark doesn’t own a car
• lying about the London Eye being “closed” to avoid a £160 queue
• Tower Bridge, boats, Wicked, and teaching small children they can be witches, engineers or train drivers
• the gay-uncle effect: do gay men get extra points for being good with kids?
• Happy-Birthday-Gate: the listener email explaining why restaurants keep ambushing Denis with celebrations
• Kevin McLeod appreciation, Grand Designs comfort-watching and middle-aged thirst for “design daddies”

Weekly queer straight comedy, Irish nostalgia and two men realising their parents should never, ever be allowed near a digital banking app.
