146 - Retirement
Rank Ideas
Hang up the boots. Give the game away. Get the gold watch and walk off into the sunset. It'll give you more time to listen to our episode passing judgment on your conceptualisation of such things. And, over time, all things.

145 - Style

What's more, we do it with an impossible blend of confidence, humlity and grace that let's you know that you are listening to Number One Podcast of Ranking Ideas: Rank Ideas. Carry on!

144 - Resilience
Rank Ideas
If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. With that cleared up we can dust off our rank coats and get adorned so that we can look the part astride our rank beasts, who are naturally resplendant in rank regalia of their own. I say, 'of their own', but they neither procured nor maintain it. Despite this apparently uneven relationship, we persist, because they bring an aesthetic that isn't replaceable nor necessarily achievable by a more accountable regalia-purchasers. This episode we are ranking resilience. That should be clear by now.

143 - Lore
Rank Ideas
Born from an egg on a mountain top, punkiest Nick and Chris that ever popped. They knew every magic trick under the sun, to tease the gods and everyone and have some fun. Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic, Monkey Magic. Confirmed true. The rest is all academic speculation/fan theory.

142 - Gratitude
Rank Ideas
Whoever it was that send us the 'thank you for ranking ideas' card and bouquet of expensive nuts - we want to say, 'thank you'! And what better way to do that, than by recording yet another episode of your all-time favourite podcast. Who knows what the theme of such an episode could be! I'm sure it will inspire a rabbit-hole of panic-learning about syncronicity. For which I can only say, you are welcome :)

141 - Time Travel
Rank Ideas
If you could travel forwards just 41 minutes you would realise what a great decision it is that you're about to make. That's right, spending the next 41 minutes eating a big huge sandwich while mapping out where in your week you can schedule the perfect time to enjoy another episode of Rank Ideas™!

140 - The Sanctity of Life

Surely not all costs. What is the limit? Find out, as we perfectly rank yet another idea on our quest that goes until and beyond the boundaries of life itself!

139 - Escapism
Rank Ideas
I understand that a lot of people listen to podcasts as a form of escapism. What better way to escape that, than to switch on, lock in, and explicitly explore the concept itself! I'd apologise in advance for ruining the concept, but this distressing experience could end up inspiring you to seek even better platforms of bliss, in which case, I will pre-emptively assume your gratitude and heartfully say, you're welcome :)

138 - Progress
Rank Ideas
Is progress linear? Of course not. But is linear progress? Also no. If you imagine everything as a progress bar, you're probably frustrated by the rate of petrol cars. But, of course, if you're frustrated by slow progress bars, you would have been filtered out of our listenership during our inexplicable 9 month hiatus! Good news for the true loyalists who survive - we're back on the air and on schedule. This episode is about progress :)

137 - Ambition
Rank Ideas
Today we're ranking Ambition. But for full disclosure - we are on a mission to rank every single human idea in the correct order from best to worst, so we may be a little biased when it comes to the topic. Fortunately for you, the self-awareness that led to the above disclosure more than offsets any risk of us getting it wrong. "Let's Rank!"
info_outlineI'm starting to think that Nick is picking these topics to send me a message. What's next? 'Being really good at board games'?!
Well guess what buddy - it's gonna rank highly! Very highly indeed.
Higher than your precious punctuality? We must wait and see!
