The Casa Mirth podcast

Well, this is a world record! From recording to publishing in under a week? WTF?? Miracles will never cease. This delectable slice of that podcast that just won't die kicks off with a disagreement on sandwiches. River takes the government skills assessment and we get an insight into the great man - but it's utter rubbish (the assessment that is). Dr Norman is...a bit tipsy and Paul Heaton from the Beautiful South is a very nice man. River REALLY doesn't like Meghan Merkin. Or Ed Sheeran. Or rich people. We meet Ada and (Inappropriate) Edna and are welcomed to the Hotel Aquarius. The reminiscent frenchman tells another tale and there's chat of Dr Norman's fixation with one of the victims of the great Pompeii disaster. Oh, and there's a world exclusive on the Channel Mirth News that you will NOT want to miss...

It's been a while. Ok it's been a looooong while. But here it is, a light in a world of utter madness, some stupidity to break through the mire, some complete and utter...well you know. And if you don't, well good luck. In this long-overdue slice of Mirth, the boys catch up on what's been happening - as much as they can remember. Dr Norman recalls the time he did an open mic stand-up routine. The Casa Mirth website got hacked and Dr Norman got confused. There's a ridiculous discussion on toilet paper (more or less), no Mensa prizes for a chat about invisibility, and a potential avenue for a new career via Only Fans. Celebrity Brainwave invites an acting legend to show their general knowledge chops, the Channel Mirth News returns and did we mention the Falcon sex hats?

Yes they're back! (and about as welcome as a second term for Donald Trump). In this delectable slice of idiocy, the boys have an argument over a facebook joke, decide it's time for a show-sponsored charitable initiative and discuss unfair taxes. Dr Norman tries to support a positive attitude to gender fluidity by using a pigeon rape metaphor and it doesn't really work. There's a rambling explanation as to why there hasn't been any Mirth for 6 months and talk of teenage masturbation. Dr Norman admits he was wrong about something and was inappropriate at work, while River is just inappropriate. Oh and it's amazing how quickly the conversation goes from disagreeing about a joke to theoretically masturbating an unexpected vagina with a rolling pin.

Oh my lord! In this skip back in time (quite literally, this was recorded 3 months ago FFS!), Dr Norman has a speech impediment (not drink related) and has face aids. Some bright spark has the idea for everyone to do accents... and it's about as ridiculous as you would imagine. Along with the normal shenanigans, there's dicks, blasphemy and for some reason, cock jousting. Poor old Stephen Hawking is dead, and they're still banging on about his dick. Finally Dr Norman gets distracted by River Zambezi ordering food at the end, so there isn't really an end bit (not that you'll mind I'm sure, you know how to find us). So if you ever thought the hosts were drunk before....well maybe you'll reconsider after listening to this one. Oh and did we mention there's a VERY special guest? (who didn't know that Bruce Forsyth was dead...)

Crumbs you are being spoiled! A new episode in under 3 months - what's going on??!! In this new instalment of what no-one is calling "the Tupperware of comedy podcasts" (no I don't know either), the boys are worried that they may be recording pretty much the same episode as the previous one as they were so drunk they couldn't remember what happened (and recorded this before S5E1 had been edited). We have the world's quickest conversation about vegans. Dr Norman knows surprisingly little about anatomy for a doctor and isn't losing weight...and we might know why. River learns about colonics and enemas and the difference between the two and the boys conclude that cancer is bad. All that, a new episode of Casa Mirth's Film Club and a truly "interesting" chat about Stephen Hawking and it's business as usual for the funniest podcast these notes are about.

Well that was a bit of a wait! Your forgotten favourite podcast is back - and it's like it never went away. In this delectable slice of Mirth: There's an argument straight out of the gate, and Dr Norman apologises to one of the artistes who contributed to the Christmas special... River saw the Human Centipede 3 and has an itchy bum (not related). The boys have had an idea for Christmas...and it's big! Dr Norman gets emotional and has questionable experiences with cats, there was an incident after the Christmas special and the boys ask a very provocative question. All in all, Dr Norman is drunk, River gets a bit angry and it all gets a bit lively (maybe more than usual - for reasons explained on the show). That said, it's all over before you know it. So sit back, put your waterproof laughing pants on and enjoy!

Merry Christmas Everybody! Yes it's back for one last festive fling of the year. Well we say festive - as festive as a conversation about the nativity, flat earth and w@nk socks can be... But there's more than just inane chit chat (although we know you love it) as this year, Dr Norman Trousers and River Zambezi treat you to the Casa Mirth version of "It's a Wonderful Life" - featuring a star-studded cast in a (not entirely accurate) remake of the Christmas classic. We hope you enjoy the show!

Roll up folks! It's another episode of that podcast you easily forget you've missed so much! In this delicious slice of Mirth, River Zambezi takes over - and can't remember the name of the show. There was so much covered in the first hour it was difficult to keep up with note taking so let's just say that River and Dr Norman Trousers discussed a lot. It all gets a bit spiritual at one point, River "doesn't read the Daily Mail" and shouldn't be allowed pets. No sketches but lots of the ridiculously inane yet somehow hilarious chat you've grown to love (and love to groan about) makes this a great reminder that the mantra "quality over quantity" is definitely being kept to. oh and Dr Norman kicks off a fairly lively conversation that it's probably best you're not fore-warned about...

What??!! A second episode in the same month?? What is happening here!? Yes that's right - the boys are back in this (appropriately titled) Unplanned episode of your favourite podcast. Dr Norman Trousers and River Zambezi went to a beer festival ...all day. An impromptu recording session ensued, with virtually no planning - and it probably shows. In this slice of aural carnage, there's arguments about making tea and mobile phones, talk of fantasy women and recollection of a very deep conversation in the cab on the way home from the beer festival. Dr Norman can't remember pretty much anything, there's an attempt at answering a listener question that goes horribly wrong and the hosts are both entirely unimpressed with the latest charity single doing the rounds. With no ads, no sketches, and let's face it - no idea, this all wraps up into a welcome surprise episode from two of the biggest idiots in podcasting.

The boys are back and they've been drinking in the sun for 6 hours - so things start off as you would expect and go downhill from there! In this cataclysmic episode of the podcast that's like your favourite uncle who never turns up to family gatherings, Dr Norman had a health scare a while back and has recently been home alone. There's an unexpected argument about a fart and a brief discussion about vaginal steaming. Dr Norman dreams of jamming in a music shop and River likes a careless whisper. Both boys resolve to lose some weight and eventually answer some listener questions. Well - fail to answer one and debate (whilst getting nowhere) a question about the zombie apocalypse. All this as well as a return from the cinematic madness that is Film Club, the guys at Radio Mirth say hello and we meet a rather interesting vet. So kick back and enjoy the show!

Yes folks - the proverbial bad penny of podcasts is back with a bang! Apart from not knowing what they're doing, it's like they've never been away...ok so they never know what they're doing... This episode can best be described by a phrase that most men wish they could say; "It might be long, but it won't hurt". Ok actually it's more like "It'll be over before you know it". In this funtabulous episode, Dr Norman Trousers attempts a retrospective of 2016 focussing on celebrities who died with little fanfare - which is made harder by the fact that River Zambezi hasn't heard of any of them. Dr Norman just wants a "coffee" and can't do a Russian accent. There's a brief chat about advertising and the boys go off into their own little world after having an idea for "japes" at Currys (a local electrical retailer). There's an attempt to remember children's tv theme tunes that turns into a discussion that goes as well as you'd expect, and a chat about classic films reveals why Norman won't go on a cruise. Norman's given up bread and had a dream about a doughnut (that's donut) that leads to an inevitable question. Talking TV shows turns into a heated discussion about "romance" (well not exactly - but it turns out River's an old romantic at heart.) So sit back, grab a drink and get ready for another slab of mirth and merriment from your favourite idiots.

It's that time of year again folks! Roll up for the biggest, daftest, star-studdedest Casa Mirth podcast Christmas Special ever! Dr Norman doesn't know how to pronounce David Bowie's name, 2016 has not been a good year to be a celebrity and the boys ponder the immortal question - who would win in a fight between Santa and Jesus? Bonn Voyage pops up for a quick Christmas conversation and Dr Norman and River discuss what happened in the years that they were born. Alongside this, there's a couple of Christmas music classics played for your listening pleasure on Radio Mirth, a podcast star-studded episode of Celebrity Brainwave and the epic (literally it's massive) Christmas Special radio play. This year it's the Casa Mirth version of the Bill Murray version of Charles Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol. Featuring a whole host of podcast heroes, this version is guaranteed to be different to any that you've heard before. Featuring (in no particular order): Marc Hershon, Tommy Royal, Samantha Pett, Stuart Buckland, Jason McNamara, River Zambezi, Angus Doodall, Paint it Black podcast, Bold and Belligerent, The LoFi Show, Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks, Old Man Orange, Nigel Boydell, Davian Dent, Megan Mohn, What a pair of Trousers, Bonn Voyage, Eric Furniss, The All Seeing Guys with Greg and Joe, Ice and the Face, Ed Wallick and Dr Norman Trousers. (hope we didn't miss anyone!). So sit back, relax, grab some egg-nog or whatever your favourite Christmas tipple is and settle into Christmas with Casa Mirth. Merry Christmas!

Just before you go about forgetting these two idiots, the Casa Mirth podcast is back! In this delectable slice of audio pie, Dr Norman Trousers and River Zambezi are joined by a very thpecial guest - Bonn from the Bonn & Obo Show, also known as Bonn Voyage from Strange Times and HandShandy786 on Tinder. Bonn's raised the game a bit and this episode shows that the hosts can actually be quite intelligent, with some interesting discourse. Sort of. River still loves a pickle, the spectre of self fellatio raises its head again and Facebook gets a brief mention but is stopped before it turns into another rant. Unfortunately River brings up an age-old argument and Dr Norman disagrees (again)- which turns into the kind of car crash you would expect. There's a discussion about toilets unsurprisingly, it all takes a serious turn with a discussion that touches on the threat of terrorism and Dr Norman goes off on one about tribute bands. Apologies to any deaf people who may listen to this episode... Never mind the girth...feel the Mirth!

Here we are again with another episode of your favourite podcast! River Zambezi and Dr Norman Trousers are back for another slice of daft. In this offering, the hosts discuss bad hand writing and chemistry lessons. Dr Norman has written a rhyme like you've never heard before and there's an almost intelligent discussion on the (host's) discovery of masturbation. There's a beautiful apology to a fan and both hosts are quite irritated by the thought of robots having rights. Even agreeing at the start can't avoid another argument, this time about sex dolls of all things! Finally, and almost inevitably, there's talk of a particular nature about...insects. Laughs aplenty in another fine outing from Messrs Trousers and Zambezi - get it in you right now!

Part 2 of season 3 episode 2 is upon us! In this conclusion, Dr Norman works with animals and there's talk of dolphin masturbation and turkey sex (don't act surprised!) We also check in on Casa Mirth's Film Club and the long awaited third episode of the best show ever to come from a parallel universe - From Within the Actor's Head. Facebook problems, bizarre pet jewellery and a controversial question finish up this second part of the best podcast that no-one listens to.

Well it's been a long time coming, but your favourite podcast is back! Dr Norman Trousers and River Zambezi are joined by a very special guest for what is only the second episode of the year (but on the plus side, it's a two parter). There's legal beagles, censored material and ninjas. In part one, there's talk of animal husbandry, Hitler and cheesy balls, as well as the Channel Mirth News. River laughs, the special guest gets really stuck into proceedings and Dr Norman has an existential crisis after he upsets a listener. Also, a special tribute from Angel Barry White and some very rude but very funny chit chat make up the first installment of a well overdue episode - all of which will probably make you glad this isn't more regular... Having so much fun led to a really long episode, so this is part one - part two coming soon!

Social media and booze breaks; very dubious discussions of a sexual nature; new quiz show Celebrity Brainwave and disaster! Join Dr Norman Trousers and River Zambezi in another bonkers episode of your favourite podcast! It'd be the best if you can spare the time to rate and review the show on iTunes.

They're back. Yes, a very drunk Dr Norman Trousers (having had an afternoon of Christmas drinks at work), and the first person to ever attempt to perform a magic trick on an audio-only podcast, River Zambezi. In this festive spectacular, we find that River doesn't like pastrami and Dr Norman's never had a spam fritter. There's an update on (and a song for) Ralph, River's new saying doesn't go down too well and there's a bit of a dark revelation about Finding Nemo. There was a bit of confusion over some of the articles for sale on Firebox, against all scientific evidence Dr Norman argues the toss about how hot a volcano is and both hosts get a little apologetic over the feel for the episode as circumstances meant that the recording session didn't follow "the process". Dr Norman's memory lets us all down and he forgets the name of the lovely person on Twitter who had some very kind words for the show (it was @DJSL22), and is aghast at the literally tons of crap games for kids this Christmas (and mixes up Poopy Fun Time with Poopy head - both are quite ridiculous although one may not even be real). A familiar face (voice?) is back for the Channel Mirth News, there's Film Club, Radio Mirth (with the world premiere of the Christmas song recorded especially for the Casa Mirth podcast, aka Casa Aid) and the highlight of the show, the "special" part of the Christmas Special - the star-studded Casa Mirth version of The Nativity. All this adds up to the best Christmas Special yet! Merry Christmas, one and all!

They're back! Here it is, part two of the pant-wettingly funny final episode of 2015 (well apart from the Christmas Special...) To be honest, there wasn't much of a cliff-hanger to part 1, but to avoid mirth-overload we thought it best to split the episode in two. So here it is - number two. Literally. Yes, you won't believe the main subject matter of this smaller, but still (we think) hysterical chunk of Casa Mirth. In this laugh-gasm of epic (and just plain wrong) proportions - there's a man with no dick (not one of the co-hosts), River's never heard of vague-booking and one of the strangest conversations ever on the show leads to a philosophical debate that has probably never been discussed in the history of man. Ok it's an argument. A gloriously stupid, hilarious argument, which we guarantee you won't have heard the like of before.

Here it is folks! Episode 2.6 of the world's most infrequent podcast. The episode that was so long and hilarious, we had to cut it in two for public safety reasons! In this first part of what turned out to be a smorgasbord of hysterics, Dr Norman wants to play his ukelelebanjo because he wrote a song and there's talk of an interview which led to the show's first negative review. River nearly sharts and neither host agrees with participation medals. Finally a discussion about charity "months" somehow descends into an argument about pubic hair and River's been listening to some weird stuff on spotify. All that, along with the ever-present Channel Mirth News all add up to a blinding return. We apologise now if you make yourself look daft if listening in public!
