Welcome to the Two Skeptical Chaps, with three Skeptical Chaps; Dr Dan, Spike and Ollie. Everything from news, politics, current affairs and social media. Anything that annoys or delights us. And if you are easily offended or underage, you probably shouldn’t be listening. But we want you to!

229 - Stuff a Turkey 12/15/2024

229 - Stuff a Turkey Our Christmas special! Ollie doesn't swear. Spike went to a party!! Dan experienced a Christmas miracle! Did someone bonk a turkey? All this and much much more. /episode/index/show/2skepticalchaps/id/34460825

228 - Elon's Endgame 11/26/2024

228 - Elon's Endgame An action packed episode. Spike has some new podcast technology which makes him sound a bit sexy to Dan and Ollie - but is he the sexiest podcaster of the year? Dan has been practicing his Karate Kid moves on the homeless. Ollie has watched some things. Trump back in, Jake Paul attempts to beat up the elderly and a man has an unfortunate encounter with a woodchipper. All this and much much more! /episode/index/show/2skepticalchaps/id/34153460

227 - Spike is late 10/22/2024

227 - Spike is late Spike is late! and the boys let him have it. Ollie lives near something but we can't say what. Spike and his dogs attempt to make the edit for Dan as complicated as possible. Please all wish Ollie well - I hate editing. Dan. /episode/index/show/2skepticalchaps/id/33573692

226 - Skeptical Tontine 09/30/2024

225 - Did you know? 08/27/2024

225 - Did you know? Dan is back from Egypt, Ollie has been watching people in swimsuits and Spike has been doing a poor job of training his little sausagey dogs to stay silent. The usual craziness and a big shout out to those going to Bahacon /episode/index/show/2skepticalchaps/id/32758297

224 - The Mysteriously Untitled Episode 07/29/2024

224 - The Mysteriously Untitled Episode In this enthralling episode, the Chaps explain their absence over the past two months. Frankly, it's down to one of them being bone idle and lounging around in bed for weeks. Also, we don't play The Snopes Game, we don't drop in on Sir Michael and we don't pay a visit to The Bunker. But we do have some confessions and a lovely chat, which we invite you to listen to... Enjoy!

223 - Just One Hornetto 05/31/2024

223 - Just One Hornetto Welcome lovely listeners! Indeed, welcome back.. it's been a wee while... In this terribly exciting episode we catch up on the events of the past couple of months, ponder why Timmy glows at night and answer the all-important questions in life, such as, what would podcasting be like with a cuckoo clock thrown into the mix, and what would you do if you found some cash. We drop in on Sir Michael, play the Snopes Game and pay a visit to the Bunker. Enjoy! This episode was recorded prior to Donald Jessica Trump becoming a convicted felon. You can rest assured that's going to be a major talking point of episode 224, so do tune in! Ollie's gone weak at the knees!

222 - This Episode is Not Entitled THAT! Greetings Listeners/Agents! Welcome to episode 222 of your favourite podcast! In this episode, we learn about Spike's inky kinky and discover that he's been entertaining himself among the flatpack furniture, catch up with Dan's enthralling allotment antics and see what Ollie has been up to, which, quite frankly, isn't much... Plus, we play The Snopes Game, horse around with Sir Michael and pay a visit to the Bunker. This episode was recorded prior to Donald Jessica Trump getting a reprieve on the amount of money he has to cough up and the time afforded him in which to do so. Jammy git.

220 - John Wick with Honey 02/02/2024

220 - John Wick with Honey Welcome to the first episode of 2024. The proper first episode of 2024, unlike the pretend episode that called itself the first episode, despite being recorded in 2023, the sneaky bugger.. Anyhoo, in this episode we get up to all the usual antics.. it's a reset of the Snopes Game counter, and we all start on ZERO and watch it all go downhill from hereon in. In this episode's Sir Michael segment, Dan goes head to head with a giant log, which is nowhere near as bad as it sounds, and Michael has decided to make some adjustments to the month of January, which is considerably worse than it sounds! Plus we have a splendid visit to the Bunker and much more. Enjoy!

219 - Dingo Boxing Welcome to the last episode of 2023, or indeed, the first episode of 2024 as far as you're concerned! Wishing all our listeners a very Happy New Year as you join us for this exciting instalment, in which Dan has a harrowing evening, Ollie gets knocked up, and Spike is whimsically whacked. We also play the final Snopes Game of the year.. who will reign triumphant, and who will have to put their hand in their pocket?

Ollie's been busy spending money, Dan's been building at the allotment, and Spike has been giving his digestive tract a workout. Also, we answer the age-old question, electrocution or shark... Plus all the usual fun, including The Snopes Game, a look at Sir Michael's latest antics, and a trip to the Bunker to catch up on the stories you lovely listeners have been sending us. Apologies for Ollie's audio. He blames Microsoft. He was reacting to everything, but Stupid Microsoft decided to switch on Stupid Audio Enhancements and buggered up his recording. We are very sorry and would like to say it won't happen again. But it probably will...

All the usual fun, even if this episode was a technological nightmare beset with one disaster after another (but beautifully fixed by our marvellous editor, who does an extraordinary job in the most challenging of circumstances, and who definitely isn't writing this!).
