Based on a Bad Idea: Episode 17

This mouth watering episode comes to you from Ben and Ivan, as Sean is currently in Edinburgh trying to get his own BBC3 sitcom (it'll be aired next week).

Ben and Ivan discuss saliva, robot lubrication and their ignorance of global politics. They then talk about coach journeys which naturally leads to red-faced anger, closely followed by spittle-flecked rage.

No chinchillas were harmed in the making of this podcast.

This short episode is not so much a podcast as an extended mea culpa. An attempt was made to change the format and it went very badly wrong. Lessons have been learned. Grovelling has been initiated.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly.

In this episode our brave trio discuss passive aggressive cohabitation, dead celebrities, and how Michael McIntyre can give you “the fear”.

So, with the episode description out of the way, can I sell you some peeled onions? I only needed one onion but Waitrose were selling them in packs. It seems a shame to waste them. Let's call it 20p for three onions and £1 for postage and packing. If you're interested just use the contact form on the website. Thanks.

And I promise you, I haven't licked them or anything. Cheers.

In this electoral episode Ben, Sean and Ivan decide to exercise their democratic rights and have an entirely democratic episode. Ultimately Sean forms a coalition government with Ben. Ivan, possibly the worst Prime Minister the podcast has ever had, is forced to resign. Ben's voters feel alienated by his alliance with the evil and corrupt Sean and are now expecting the worst. Meanwhile the electorate gets tired of reading this tedious episode description and look longingly at photos of Denis Healey.

The subjects in this episode are “starring roles in school plays”, “did Jesus fail?” and “drunken nightmares”

The subjects in this unlucky broadcast are “birthday presents for the Queen”, “meaningless despair” and “being a spy”. The discussion of spying was so contentious that it has been censored under the Official Secrets Act. Either that or it was so boring it was cut out.

Also discussed are muslim burial methods, a Frankie Boyle-esque discussion of a bit of anatomy of a certain person and Ben ends the show with a card trick.

Due to the recent fad for everything three dimensional, this podcast comes to you in digital quadrophonic sound. The guys also painted themselves blue and fought against a powerful military oppressor.

Ivan is currently addicted to Trololololololo and tries to get Ben and Sean up to speed. Meanwhile Ben demands proof that life is a game.

Finally Sean wants ideas for a political manifesto. Our three heroes become crazed with power and there are predictably tragic consequences.

In this episode Sean shares a poem about self-service tills, Ivan employs karmic swearing and Ben tries to recall a listenable Bob Dylan song (and fails).

Along the way they also attempt to do impressions, work out who is the nicest god and ruminate on the work of a human sponge.

In this episode the three subjects that Ben, Sean and Ivan discuss are “the latest you've ever been”, “agreeing with people” and “disagreeing with people”

Along the way they discuss the sequel to “The Passion of the Christ”, the dubious pleasures of Chatroulette and make some inevitable jokes about Tiger “the todger” Woods.

In this episode our heroes discover early on that they don't have any subjects to discuss. Never mind. They hastily improvise and before you know it they're discussing Ivan's unfunny comedy night, Ben's poetry and Sean's “true” stories.

They also try to work out the difference between lurking and stalking. Their attempts will not trouble the Oxford English Dictionary.
