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.

Welcome back! It's been a while... again (!) but your favourite Chaps with our funniest episode since.. erm.. the last one. In this exciting instalment, Dan has a thrilling allotment update, Spike waxes lyrical about African warlords and their Powerpoint skills and Ollie really, REALLY doesn't like cyclists... We play the Snopes Game, drop in on Sir Michael, and pay a visit to the Bunker to see what you lovely listeners have been sending us. Enjoy, and we apologise in advance for the somewhat annoying whining on Dan's audio. His computer has been thrown out of a window as retribution.

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!

It's been a little while, but your favourite Chaps are back with an exciting new instalment of your favourite podcast!

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...
