The Olympics
3/18/20261 hr 3 min
Charlie of Loughborough feeds The Olympics into the bean machine for this week’s lukewarm topic. Any of Henry, Mike or Ben could definitely have been a gold medal winning olympian if they’d only had the right opportunities, encouragement, childhood pets, funding, early surgical interventions, talent profile, genetic modification and work ethic so this is a subject close to their hearts.

This Uncle's Day.
Henry Paker· Host1:03

That... Well, yeah, it's cla- exactly. That's- Yeah ... that's the classic way you do it. But- Mm ... um, but it's harder and harder to forget, isn't it? Because they just ram it down your throat.
