004: Andrew Tate Fights GHOST! 4-Day Work Week SUCCESS & Secret Passageways?!
This week the boys are back with more serious business scooped from the bowels of the internet, starting with Andrew Tate continuing his Kickboxing career in prison by taking on opponents from beyond the grave. In other news Dan is sick to death of the lack of mystery in the world and has a well thought out business plan to combat this; secret passageways. The results are in and Steve thinks the best way to save the world this week is the 4 day work week, it's simple really, less work = more fun. Other serious business: - People who think they're attractive aren't phased by deadly viruses - If you don't find the term 'floppy disk' funny then you're officially old - Dan got drunk and ordered excessive amounts of Subway. 00:00 Introduction 07:57 Steve Saves the World 14:59 Dragons Den 24:27 What's On Your Mind? 28:41 This Weeks Headlines

003: DATING Your Car, Male Contraception and Kicking the Beer!
DATING your car, male contraception pills and kicking the beer for lent! It's episode three and the serious business keeps on coming! This week the boys are a bit 'fruity'. Dan has once again delved into the world of reality TV proposing a new dating show, the twist being that all of the contestants are in love with inanimate objects (many of them VW Beetles). Steve has been pondering everyone's bedroom habits and has decided to remind everyone we NEED a male contraceptive pill, it's time to help out the ladies. In a shocking revelation Steve has decided to give up the love of his life for lent, and it sounds like Dan is just giving up.

002: How to Style the PERFECT Look, Limiting Your Twitter Rants and ALIENS in the Wind!?
Do you want to know how to style the PERFECT look? Should we be limiting Twitter rants and are ALIENS blowing over in the wind!? This week on The Serious Business Podcast the boys are back to talk life, death, news and nonsense. Steve has donned a shirt in order to impress his mother. Dan reports back on his valentines day and his close encounter with a big hunk of meat (despite his reservations he did it to make real fiance happy). Dan is tired of waiting for people to get ready and has come up with a dystopian AI that takes all the joy out of dressing yourself and enforces strict instructions on how to be 'nearly' perfect. In order to save the world Steve would ideally turn off twitter, but knowing that would create global uproar he has a more conservative credits-based system to hopefully stop people talking so much bollocks. Other serious business: Our mate China can't keep control of their balloons Is it our god given right to be naked in public? The reunion of a famous seven-piece band brings back traumatic memories for Steve. Don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE on YouTube for more!

001: Harry Styles; UNGRATEFUL?! Rihanna CONFIRMED as Satan's Helper! Eco-Activism; a HATE CRIME?!
The boys are BACK for season 2 of the Serious Business Podcast, but this time they're also on YouTube, in all their high-res, colour corrected glory. To kick off the first episode of Season 2, Steve goes for a double whammy, taking on climate change, eco-activism and many people's perfectly 'legitimate concerns with immigration policy' in another effort to save the world. In the light of the recent railway strikes, Dan proposes yet another business idea to help keep frustrated commuters calm and in turn save their families from their wrath. The Grammys have come around once again and Steve doesn't give a shit, but if he doesn't care so much why is he taking pot shots at our beloved Harry Styles? Other serious business - - Priest CONFIRMS that Rihanna is Satan's right-hand woman. - Woman is raised from the dead in Iowa, this is the second time this has happened. - Dan made a special omelette at the weekend.

020: Dallas Zoo Conspiracy, the Shower with Drying Power and Binning Boring Books with Dan and Steve

020: Dallas Zoo Conspiracy, the Shower with Drying Power and Binning Boring Books with Dan and Steve
Lesson of the week: If someone tells you not to read a book, go ahead and read it anyway. Unless it’s about the history of coaches and buses in North East England or something boring like that, you can get rid of that. We’re also getting rid of Rick and Morty because apparently, the creator’s a nonce. Steve’s jumping to invest in Dan’s business idea this week and it’s a good one, the Shower with Drying Power. No more soaking wet bath mats! The boys also try to get to the bottom of a zoo animal mystery as many of them have escaped under suspicious circumstances... Animal rights activists or bored monkeys? Conspiracy theory? Cue the jingle. More serious stuff: The shocking truth about Sheffield: Hot single men really do live there Velma being the lowest-rated show probably ever. (Embarrassing) Facial recognition on rats! To kill them though. Sorry vegans. And that’s a wrap on Season 1! Let us know what you’d like to see for Season 2 apart from our faces, you’re already getting those. See you next week!

019: Pet Chickens, Ghostly Dining and Cheating in the Metaverse with Dan and Steve (1-1)
We’ve got one very important question this week: What happened to Dan on Saturday Night?? He won’t admit it, but Steve’s a bit jealous after hearing Dan got smashed with a bunch of strangers and came back with some new besties. Maybe Dan can make up for it with his business idea this week as he’s solving the egg shortage crisis with his Domesticated Chickens Service. It’s well cute. Steve’s lowering housing costs with graffiti as well as saving the world by showing people a whole new perspective. Basically, he’s making you scroll through a Trump supporter’s For You page. Sounds vile but it’s all in the name of empathy. More serious bits: Dead man walking in a restaurant TV ad or a mistaken grief-stricken widow OR good ole fashioned capitalism? Catfish the TV Show is now Emotional Cheating in the Metaverse apparently A pig “accidentally” murders his butcher before he’s turned into lunch There’s also a guy lost at sea who survives solely on ketchup, garlic powder and stock cubes. Yum.

018: Wi-Fi Automated Kettles, ABBA is Definitely Still Alive and Hologranimals with Dan and Steve (1-0)
The time has officially come. Someone’s stolen Dan’s business idea in REAL-TIME. And no he didn’t just invent the already existing Smart Kettle that you can purchase on Amazon and have delivered tomorrow. That would be silly. As you may know, Steve ended racism a couple of weeks ago and now he’s tackling animal cruelty in zoos using holograms. Can you see where we’re going with this? It’s got a bloody good name too. That’s a lot of creativity for someone who didn’t know ABBA was still alive. We’ve also got some wild headlines of the week including some very inappropriate noises on Match of the Day and Americans attempting to change the actual law of maths because “it’s just easier”. More serious stuff: The robbery is real this week - another one of our business ideas has just been released in America Steve’s alarming recurring dream that he definitely needs a therapist for You can win the lottery twice?? Steve’s got long hair now. Don’t worry he’ll post a pic if he’s feeling cute, might delete later x

017: The Cult of Steveism, Made-Up Phrases and Weatherproof Bikes with Dan and Steve
Steve’s year hasn’t started off too well, he might still be a little hungover and he’s convinced himself that “close but no banana” is a real phrase. We’re still figuring that one out. Dan’s got your new years resolution to keep fit this year in the bag with his Sheltered Bikes business idea. Love cycling but hate the weather? You’ve got no excuses now. Oh, and Steve’s started a new religion (see: cult) to save the world. Introducing Steveism, coming soon to a Waterstones near you. Waterstones? What’s that got to do with Steve’s religion (see: cult)? It’s a long story just listen to the episode. Enjoy the madness. Even more serious things: Dan and Steve go head to head in the battle of whether sherry should still be a thing Dolphins passing pufferfish round like a spliff Bowling is so 2022. New manly sport for 2023: Badminton! If you see Steve planting his scriptures in the non-fiction aisle of a Waterstones, it’s probably best just to calmly walk the other way.

016: Festive Wheels, The 12 Mishaps of Christmas and Flammable Onions with Dan and Steve
It’sss Christmasss! It’s a special one this, we’ve gone all out with a spinning wheel, lots of festive chat and even a live studio audience with real fiance and real girlfriend. They have officially been confirmed to be real. Steve’s doing the Lord’s work (as Jesus would have wanted at this time of year) and informs us all of the dangers of Christmas in the aptly named 12 Mishaps of Christmas. The numbers aren’t looking good for the number of deaths as a result of shopping during the sales and watering Christmas trees… And Dan visits that strange other world across the pond again where a truckload of onions are on fire and an explosive gets stuck up a guy’s bum. More serious but festive things: We discuss our festive favourites! Songs, movies, food and more Escape rooms but make it espionage Another round of the invention mention! (You can definitely get this one) Did you know a quarter of all toy sales are just adults buying them for themselves? Go on treat yourself to the slime, no one will know… Merry Christmas!

After a cheeky week off, Dan and Steve are back to tackle the real stuff. Racism? What’s that? That’s what they’ll say when the world implements Steve’s latest genius idea to stop the Susan Husseys of the world from asking “Where are you *really* from?” In more things you should never do news, we hear the Americans are at it again with taking up licking toads for fun. You definitely read that right. Dan’s also got a seriously good business idea for those of you who hate remembering birthdays. The name needs a little work though… Tune in quick before someone steals our ideas! Again! More serious things: Lifeless body or art installation? The really sad origin story of how t-shirts were invented (men, you should be ashamed of yourselves) The toughest Christmas dilemma: Who do you spend Christmas with if you’re in a relationship? We also need you to answer a very serious question after you listen! Who would win? The grumblers or the squeakers? Let us know!

014: A Stressful Trip to Belgium, No Farts Allowed & Replacing Football Kits with Sumo Suits with Dan and Steve
Steve’s got the cold sweats this week as he tells us his incredibly stressful journey to Bruges which in the end wasn’t all bad since he ended up meeting some “amazing Tories”. Whatever that means. The boys are (obviously) hooked on the world cup and Dan’s real finance has some… interesting and morally questionable ideas to improve the game and help England win. (If you’re a police officer, maybe skip this segment). And Steve is determined to save the world from mindless telly with board games! He’s even come with a full-on demo just for you lot. More very serious business: Which is longer, an earthworm or a parking space? Please, please, we’ve heard enough about Matt Hancock, make it stop Which animals could you take down in a fight? Grizzly bears are no match for Americans apparently… QOTD: “If you can’t fart in a bathroom, you can’t fart anywhere.” - Dan Jenkinson, 2022

013: New Build Devil Ghosts, World Cup Beer Hacks & Sausage Experts with Dan, Steve and... an Extra Dan?!
The boys are back in a new town (it's Leeds). After a tumultuous few weeks the boys rise once again like a Phoenix, however this time they are joined by an extra voice, also called Dan (if you listen carefully you can hear him in the background). The World Cup is on everyone's minds although Steve seems preoccupied with the potential violence caused by the lack of beer in Qatar. At long last Dan has moved into his new house but Steve being the protective friend he is is insisting on some thorough checks for ghosts even though it's a new build. You can never be too careful when it comes to devil ghosts. This week the boys are mulling over an age old question; is the human race really capable of identifying what's in their sausages? It's not looking hopeful. Get listening for more serious business like: - New Dan's first beer-based business idea. - In the 1500s in Stockholm some people just couldn't stop dancing, this resulted in fatal consequences. - Why at this time of the year we should all avoid LUSH at all costs. - Matt Hancock's devious plan is working, Steve is worried. Enjoy!

012: THE MS SPECIAL!
This isn’t just another juicy episode of the serious business podcast, it’s a seriously juicy MS episode. You heard correctly, after a week from hell Dan has emerged from a tumultuous stay in Barnsley hospital with high spirits but wobbly legs. As if Dan doesn’t have enough on his plate Steve accuses him of being a liar because of his respectable showering habits. The boys then take out their joint frustrations by launching a tirade of criticism on a slew of unsuspecting celebrities including Kanye (‘Ye’) West, Elon Musk and of course James Corden (ouch). Dive into this week’s MS Special for more Serious Business like: The perks of being diagnosed with a life altering illness. Why is Matt Hancock going on I’m a celeb? Can Steve improve the aim of penis owners around the country with one simple idea? Trapping James Corden in an infinite loop of carpool Karaoke across america (It’s for the best) The world continues to be in tatters but the boys have learnt a valuable lesson; it could always get worse, with that in mind here’s another banging episode of The Serious Business Podcast.

011: Password Protected Netflix Shows, Steve Shaves the World & Abolishing Hold Music with Dan and Steve
The “don’t watch the next episode without me!!” crisis has been solved. There will be no more fights about watching one more sneaky episode behind your girlfriend’s back or silent treatments from other roommates in the shared kitchen. And Steve definitely doesn’t expose the glaringly obvious flaw in Dan’s business idea, nope. Dan and Steve have more jingles and wild ideas this week, including another tense round of the Invention Mention, fighting for the abolition of hold music, Detective School for kids (because critical thinking classes just don’t sound as good) and a fun new thing that Dan and Steve didn't even have to come up with: Prime Minister of the week! MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Something weird has happened in America, are you shocked? Neither are we James Corden’s having a bad week or he’s just being annoying as usual Having empathy for people who probably don’t really deserve it (Liz Truss) but we do because we are kind boys It’s disaster after disaster in the UK right now but at least you’ve got this world-class podcast to listen to.

010: Electric Shock Escalators, Kicking Billionaires Off the Planet & A Stressful Quiz Game with Dan and Steve (3-6)
Dan’s fed up. If one more person stands on the wrong side of an escalator, he will have no choice but to use force, electrical force. This week’s business idea involves some “shocking” tactics that surely you’ll be on board with because no one likes a dawdler, get to the side. Speaking of shock, Steve takes a shockingly long time to figure out the answer in our new quiz segment, the Invention Mention, accompanied by extremely tense, stressful quiz show music of course. Can you figure out Dan’s tricky riddle before him? Steve also shares his weekend plans with us including wanting to do the scariest escape room possible. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Shooting up billionaires into space to “colonise the next human race” when actually we’ll just steal their money to, you know, stop world hunger Shaming people who get on trains before letting other people off first Near-death experiences in escape rooms! Also, look at us go with 10 whole episodes! Who would have thought we’d make it this far? Here’s to (hopefully) another 10 more! And another 10 after that. And after that.

009: Mercury Retrograde, A Human Car Wash and Making Fun of Tories Again with Dan and Steve (3-5)
We’re back! Did you miss us? Of course you did. To be honest you can blame Dan for that one, and maybe you can blame Mercury retrograde and all whilst you’re at it. This week Dan and Steve are feeling a little defeated. Dan’s been struggling to sell his house whilst Steve feels like his unhealthy habits might be catching up to him. But why bother trying to sort it out now when there will probably be a pill for everything in the next couple of decades right? We can be awful for a bit until that time comes, pass the 2-litre bottle of Merlot, mate. Dan’s made up for his disappearing act by providing us with a mighty good business idea involving shower heads and hot soapy water. Have we ruined the suspense there a bit, sorry. There’s still loads more in this episode including some more kind feedback, some business therapy for Steve who’s too afraid to remind his clients to pay him and making fun of the Tory of the Week. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Question for you: Why is it called blowing a raspberry? We want answers. Halloween’s come early because Dan and Steve are eerily in sync this week A possible solution for all the horrendously non-empathetic Tories out there We’re serious about the blowing a raspberry thing by the way. Please let us know, it’s been a rough week.

The cost of living crisis is over, finished, forget about it because we’ve solved it. You can send us your thank yous in the form of Instagram DMs, 5-star reviews, but absolutely no cards. You know why. This week Dan and Steve are tackling energy with solar-powered shoes (or *sole*er powered? No?) and maybe some infringement on child labour laws, but is it really child labour if they’re having a good time? Would it really be so bad to slap a power cable on a see-saw? That’s not exploitation, it’s called Steve being a genius. Dan also opens his very thoughtful birthday presents from Steve live on air (a very touching moment) before talking about the Queen’s funeral and its absolute bangers, Trump’s opinion that no one asked for, the excitement for long johns season and going on a mystery picnic in York. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Netflix is listening yet again. Just give us a TV show already! Need a go-to dance move on the dancefloor?

Before we start, we’ve got to set the record straight this week: Steve’s dad CAN use a washing machine. He really wanted that to be known. The dishwasher on the other hand? Clueless. It’s Dan’s birthday! (yesterday) and he’s been so selfless by gifting YOU with probably one of his very best business ideas yet. Maybe it’s his new glasses. It’s given him all the great ideas this week including the Sarky Bastard Button which allows you to watch Live TV Gogglebox style, but instead of you watching a family watching something else, you’re just watching one guy yelling at the debates on Good Morning Britain. Steve’s still hung(over) up on ways to cure a hangover, his very real girlfriend thinks she’s got it down with 5 signature drinks whereas Dan’s got it sorted with eating an entire cucumber. As well as that, Steve’s invented the edible trio you didn’t even know you were waiting for: grapes, ready salted crisps and chocolate. Yes, all at once. Give this episode a listen and hear him out. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Dan and Steve test out their acting skills by reading Charles and Camilla’s steamy tapes Forget flying cars, Dan’s bringing out double-decker taxis Touchy meat eaters (we get it, you could never be vegan) What came first, drugs or aliens? More archaic practices you want to get rid of from our hilarious, incredibly talented copywriter who definitely isn’t writing this right now seething that no one agreed with her :) We also wanna know your favourite replacement swear words! ‘Wally’ is comfortably sitting at a number one fave, can you send us a better one?

What would she tell us as a ghost from the other side? What REALLY happened behind the scenes of the Don’t Worry Darling film? And what the heck is a Wind-Powered Vacuum bin? Halloween seems to have come early as Dan and Steve try to make sense of the strange goings on in the world this week. A world with Edwina Currie suggesting Feng Shui as a way to solve the cost of living crisis and Boris Johnson telling us to buy a new kettle to save a tenner every year. Uh, yeah, good one Boris.

Serious question: Which thing goes where in a washing machine? Please help us, we’re just dumb millennials who don’t know any better according to Nina Myskow, who Steve is currently writing a very angry email to. (But seriously, do let us know). This week the war is on, Millennials vs Basic Lifeskills, Boomers vs Mobile Hotspots and Steve vs Galaxy chocolate. Steve’s on a mission to tackle worldwide obesity due to an unfortunate camera angle of himself (understandable) by turning supermarkets into Total Wipeout obstacles. Would you really do anything for a 4-pack of Mars bars? Not after this idea. Dan’s throwing away archaic rituals like brushing our teeth for two whole minutes and instead introducing Tooth Masks, it just makes sense. Dan’s mum jumps in on the business ideas this week with an idea to drop a cafe in all crematoriums. Cakes to Die For? Yes, please. We also hear from our lovely, but slightly feral listeners with their feedback and very questionable business ideas. (Looking at you Robyn). MORE SERIOUS STUFF: Have you ever watched children's TV shows you used to love but recently? Would not recommend unless you like being absolutely creeped out Getting rid of cards for good. Thanks Aunt Steph but you could have just sent me a text x Dan can’t remember anything after being hypnotized at a Derren Brown show (was it really worth the money then?) Steve’s real-life experience saving a pirate’s life. Well, supervising it anyway We’re giving out free jingles to each of you who give us 5-star reviews! Yes, really! We’re kind.

Steve tells us the strangest thing you’ll ever hear about fish as an innocent birthday gift almost goes wrong while Dan introduces us to charcoal cheese and sticky toffee cheese from his time at the Great British Food Festival. Where’s the lesson in that you may ask? You can never go wrong with cheese. Steve’s saving the world one minor inconvenience at a time by suggesting a series of ever so slightly annoying happenings as punishments for non-violent criminals (imagine eating spag bol only with a knife, good luck), Dan has another excellent idea with the world’s first murder mystery in space, eyeballs will definitely be glued to the screen for that one, and one question that we’ve all thought about at least once in our time; why do police still ride horses? Surely the horses would prefer a quiet night in with a bit of hay and carrots rather than a loud human-fueled riot? MORE SERIOUS STUFF: The dangers of skipping and its speedy consequences A surprise phone call with the REAL Joaquin Phoenix AND Ant and Dec (fun fact: Ant and Dec are indeed one person) Dan puts himself forward for the role of Chief Inconvenience Coordinator. Could you do better? Probably not More bug puns from our listeners! Lots of lessons to learn this week with Dan and Steve that will be sure to make you think about your next goldfish purchase or at least make you grateful next time you’re stuck driving behind a cow on the road. You may have to tune in to get that one. Follow The Serious Business Podcast on Instagram:

003: Steve’s Haunted Phone, Tackling Hopeless Incels and Misogynistic Meats with Dan and Steve (1-1)
Ever got a strange text message from a mate telling you about bus schedules in the middle of the night? Maybe they were blackout drunk or maybe their phone has been possessed by an extremely organized ghost… Or like Steve, it’s probably just time for a new phone. This week, Dan and Steve take on the stranger sides of things as they discuss Steve’s sentient phone, Dan possibly honeymooning in a haunted mansion and just, well, incels. Steve’s brilliant idea to save the world this week involves training a bot to help lost men who fell too deep into the hands of Andrew Tate to talk to women, like normal human beings, and find love. Aw. Dan’s new business idea brings a whole new meaning to FUNerals with his personalized song service (with a real catchy name) that’s bound to get the dead tapping their toes. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: The morals of tomb stealing. That is all. Steve asks the real questions this week: Who made barbequing a strictly male activity? Getting Pierce Brosnan on board for Steve’s solution to The Incel Problem Feedback from our lovely listeners! They do not hold back! Who takes the bowling crown this week? Would you rob a Pharoh’s tomb if it was nicer than yours? Would you put your love life in the hands of Dan and Steve? Tune in to find out the answers to these very serious questions.

002: Bugs Are The New Meat, Topless World Leaders & Reality TV Gone WILD with Dan and Steve (0-1)
Climate change is at the forefront of everybody’s mind but this week, Steve has really got the solution to save the world. Forget meat replacements, it’s all about BUGS. Anyone up for a bit of Coq (roach) au Vin? You'll love it. Dan and Steve discuss some radical business ideas that would give TLC a run for its money, including a very strange but you’d definitely watch it Love Island and Long-Lost Family crossover (shudders) and a very unusual way to expose paedophiles… Think vigilantes gone rogue. They also talk politics with Nicola Sturgeon and Liz Truss (metaphorically) dragging each other on live TV, why Putin is so concerned with which world leaders would look the best with their shirts off and how soul-destroying it would be to be the poor FBI agent who had to fish White House documents out of Donald Trump’s toilet. MORE SERIOUS STUFF: The bowling scores are IN, who’s got it in the bag this week? Energy bills are on the rise - could Steve and Dan live without electricity? (Hint: probably not) Steve and his (very real) girlfriend and their disappointing Mojitos Can we really trust short people? There’s a lot more where that came from, especially more bug puns! Send us your best meat replacement bug dishes and we’ll read them out in the next episode!
