Season 2 Episode 1
We're back. No, it's not a mirage. Oli and Arthur are back in your ears and less able to follow their own trails of thought than ever! In this episode, we discuss environmental issues, political turmoil, inter-generational conflict, mental health, and eggs. Obviously. Want to hear more? Then listen. It's a podcast, duh.
If you ain’t talking money, I don’t wanna talk
They don't want you to talk about money. We live in a world where consumerism is everywhere, and there's always something new and better to buy.

Have you ever seen what happens when you tell a woman… Continue reading Why women can’t be angry
This generation is so entitled. But so is that one, and so are the others.
I've been thinking about this whole "Millennials are so entitled, Millennials are so lazy" thing. You might be surprised (unless you know me even a little bit) to find out that I think it's rubbish. Every generation is entitled. Everybody thinks they should have things as easy as their parents did - easier, even, thanks… Continue reading This generation is so entitled. But so is that one, and so are the others.
