'Oh dear,' says Dave when Jon reveals a soft spot for a song. And we go on to discuss those things that we're made to feel guilty for enjoying: low-brow television, jokes in bad taste, music derided by critics. Naff? Yes, but we love it!
How do you define friendship? How does it differ from acquaintance? Can you have friends of differing ages, genders, likes and beliefs? Do real friends last across time and separation?. So many questions... but do we have the answers? Listen and find out
It can cheer us up or make us feel miserable. It can make us hot , cold or wet, and we talk about it constantly. Yes let's discuss the weather.
From where to store your eggs to what you should keep in your trousers... Take our advice and listen to this episode.
Other people's dreams can send you to sleep, but your own are fascinating. So let us tell you all about ours... zzzzzzz... And are we past the stage of having aims and ambition? Jon would like to be driven everywhere, while Dave dreams of being inoffensive.!
What we did in our spare time: collecting stamps, cards and a "very interesting" badge, pressing flowers (!), plus a load of all manure (no, not this podcast). And why we didn't go trainspotting or join the Scouts.
First a surprise party, recording our lives on film - photobooth comedy and bad camera work, The need to crop out undesirables.
We discuss birthdays with friends and swap tales of the best and worst ages to be, jelly and cake, inflatable bananas and a shocking birthday present.
This episode begins with some "Old Guy Moaning Stuff" about much formulaic modern music, auto-tuning of vocals and whether musicians keep performing live for too long. But then we cheer up discussing favourite instruments and vocalists, the inspiration behind break-up songs and the records we've played the most times throughout our lives.
Music then and now, good and bad decades then and now and who we wished we'd seen (and wished we hadn't!) Were The Incredible String Band really incredible? Did Amazing Blondel live up to their name? And were Dire Straits dire? Plus the time Jon and Dave joined a band live onstage - and how Jon paid the cost!
