That's Just Ridiculous! with GUY & PAUL

This week Guy and Paul get into a pointless argument about manly cologne whilst trying desperately to overcome post festive malaise. But not before they’ve discussed New Year Resolution rockets and male pattern monogamy. The result? A mid pod crisis ensues and all seems lost...

It's a dicey time between Christmas and New Year, when suicide and domestic violence incidents spike. But you can avoid both by listening to That's Just Ridiculous. Paul tells us about childhood Christmases when the Fryer family, a group of Irish tinkers, pushed the boat out for the festive dinner and all hunkered down to a magnificent 23 pound potato with all the trimmings, or at least some of them, before going to the pub for a yuletide fight. Guy remains curiously quiet about the christmases of his youth, probably because he wishes to avoid receiving more complaints and hate mail, having been variously accused in recent listener feedback of work place bullying and harassment. The truth will out.
Remember, don't beat up your lover or top yourself; Tune in to Paul and Guy and live the dream!

Paul and Guy extend heartfelt greetings to one and all in this special episode of That's Just Ridiculous. The gents actually manage to dredge up some goodwill and discuss present giving, past tragedies and future pub visits in this seasonal spectacular. The perfect antidote to too much gratuitous gluttony and family feuding. Don't Miss it!

Paul and Guy are putting a toe in the Christmas spirit. You better brace yourselves. Paul leads the choir and talks about some of his favourite Christmas singles. He then performs an old number from his back catalogue of unreleasable religious songs. The conversation then veers dangerously into Middle Eastern politics. God knows why. Maybe because Jesus was born there. Thank Christ it only happens once a year.

Back from revolutionary duty on the barricades of France, the two amis sit down to talk to each other about eating meat and how good and bad it makes them feel, with some serious ramifications. Throw in a whizz around the solar system and a poem about a rabbit and you have this week's pod.  NB Suitable For Vegans. May Contain Nuts. 

This week the two podsters made a trip to France. This episode was recorded in a cafe in the Tarn, where over coffee and cognac Paul and Guy talk about their adventures. Witches, nuclear reactors and nazi atrocities all come under the scrutiny of their small but friendly minds. It's like an episode of 'Allo 'Allo written by Dennis Wheatley.

Spend an amiable half an hour with the two friends and hear them chat about Pam Ayers, Paul's days as a published poet, sunbathing, skin bleaching, tattoos, Philip K Dick and fly tipping, though the real subjects are, as ever, spontaneity and friendship.

 

 

As our nation faces such grave times, That's Just Ridiculous puts its shoulder to the patriotic wheel and raises morale on the home front by not mentioning Brexit once. Except then. Travel with us to the outer reaches of our solar system to the planet Mars, with Elon Musk, about whom the friends have strong opinions. Paul tells us of a time when brains will be attached to laptops, and only machines will be able to hear him. So before he cuts himself from humanity you can listen to his sweet voice one more time by downloading the pod.

We touch on Paul's glory years as a punk rocker, while Guy remains as quiet as possible about his difficulties with the counter culture. The lads also solve the knotty problem of feminism etc.

 

 

Paul wants to tell us all about the stuff he hates.  I tell him he should stop thinking about these things, but he needs to get them off his chest.  I try to calm him, but the rant can't be stemmed.  Over-heated coffee, building regs, plastic packaging, motorway service stations, football, upvc windows, modern pubs, drones and paninis, the list goes on.  I try to help him find the source of his anger, but to be honest I fail.

 

 

This week Guy and Paul stick their noses into the curious lore surrounding alcohol, cocaine, psychedelic tourism and glue sniffing. Paul apologises for eating crisps during the recording and has promised not to do it again.
