Ep17: Discrimination And Prejudice Based On Assumption

It's me, Carl and Chris again because I forgot to invite anyone else. This week I bring up the topic of discrimination and prejudice often being based on assumption. I tell the story how years ago back in the early 80's there was a lad around the town that always wore make-up so I naturally assumed he was one of 'the gays'. Then one day I met him and asked him if he was 'the gays' and he told me he had a girlfriend and a baby on the way which just goes to show that I shouldn't have made that assumption.

Then we went on to discuss they way society today hears what they want to hear. I made the point that if I said that I didn't like Israelis, some idiot is bound to say that I'm a Nazi because I hate all the Jews which is not at all what I said.

Ep16: The Adult Entertainment Industry And Prostitution

Chris' topic for this week is porn. Me Chris and Carl weigh in on the adult entertainment industry and the new regulations in the UK that say you have to prove your age online before you can watch it.

Also we discuss should prostitution be legalised.

Weekly News Review 14th April 2019

Carl, Chris and I have a Whatsapp group call to discuss this week's news. We talk about the Taiwanese woman who had 4 sweat bees living in her eyeball. Julian Assange being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy kicking and screaming, which was his own fault for calling Ecuador an insignificant country, even if it is. We also discuss people reviewing our conversations that are getting picked up through smart speakers in our homes and to test this theory I plan to tell Alexa that I've been sleeping with the reviewers wife for the last year. Our last topic was new detectors on the motorway that can tell when someone is on the phone in a car, but it can't tell if it's the driver or a passenger and it only flashes up a warning anyway so it's pretty pointless.

Ep15: 2 Fat Blokes And A Skinny Bloke Give Diet Advice

Well this is an odd one. The podcast started out with no topic. It was me telling a story how I thought I had suffered salt poisoning the day before from some really salty soup that a Polish friend had given me. Carl, Chris and I ended up talking about food, diets and nutrition for the next 40 minutes and went to great lengths to advise our listener on what food he or she should be eating, which is ironic considering two of us are overweight and the other one is like a stick.

Ep14: More Twitter Q&A

This week Carl, Chris and I meet up on a Whatsapp group phone call to answer a few more questions from Twitter, such as 'How should we reduce the human population of Earth?'. Should this be done in a 'Logan's Run' style environment where people are disposed of once they reach the age of 21?.

Also we discuss 'If you could learn the answer to one question about your future, what would the question be?'

Ep13: Are Mobile Phones Ruining Social Interaction?

Alex, Carl and I talk about how the mobile phone has changed our social lives. I don't think it should be called a phone anymore. That's like calling a car a headlight. There's much more to it than that. Our phones do so much more now than just make calls. 

Ep12: If You Had To Kill The Animal Yourself, Would You Still Eat Meat?

This is a strange one. Alex would be quite happy to butcher his own dog if he was hungry enough. I would probably become a vegetarian if it became law that you had to kill the animal yourself before you could eat meat. However if it was a zombie apocalypse and there was no other food available then next door's cat is getting roasted.

Ep11: If You Could Travel Back In Time, What Era Would You Visit?

Carl, Alex and I pick what era's we would visit if we had the ability to travel back in time. I explain why I would go to 1920's Paris. Alex is off to Egypt (probably because he likes sandals)and Carl is a high ranking member of the Roman Empire.

Ep10: Are We Living In A Simulation?

Elon Musk says we may be living in a virtual world or a simulation if you like. Me, Carl and Alex discuss that possibility. We also talk about what we would do if we discovered that we had access to the code and could change what goes on in the simulation. Obviously I would be very rich and would be lording it over everyone with my vast wealth.

Solo Podcast - Will we be discussing the UFO phenomena on the podcast?

I'm on my own for a short podcast to address a question from our listener. In this episode I explain why we won't be discussing UFO's on the podcast and a tell a brief version of my own UFO sighting many years ago, in the days before we had cameras in our pockets.
