You can't say that!

3/31/2024
Tom has the plague, it turned out that he had a temperature of 39.5C (103.1F) through the recording of this episode. Even with this as a factor, the boys roll out another cracker of an episode. Rob can't seem to help but say things that require Tom to beep out audio, Blue drinks ahoy with Lucozade and a taste test, Do you Remember makes a surprise come back for Easter and finally, Tom takes Rob into the world of N64 game music.

Where's Rob?

3/21/2024
All by myself.... I don't want to be, all by myself anymore.. Rob's sick so Tom is going to have to do his best impression of a radio DJ this week. We're sorry that Untitled Trek Show is delayed but next week we'll make sure you get double bubble! This week, if you want to listen, is Tom talking Gladiators episode 3 before going on a deepish dive about why kids nowadays don't get the same joy from TV he once did.. There were plenty of shows he forgot including The Crystal Maze which he and his brothers would crowd round and The Krypton Factor which the whole family would enjoy together.
