Episode 50:
This week we're straight talking 50 episodes! We discuss hitting the milestone of big 5-0! We reflect on what made us set up the podcast to start with, we discuss our favourite episodes, our guests and the podcast reaching all around the world. Peter's reading Gazza's old autobiography and we discuss the trauma in Gazza's childhood and the impact that has had on his mental health and we also debate whether weed should be legalised.
Allan's smiling as he redecorates the office and the Jehovah's Witnesses find a new way to contact him. Peter is late for crèche again but he's smiling when the kids listen to his radio show and he waits until his last episode to drop a "door knob moment".
