In May of 2008, a couple of childhood mates named Sean and Scott decide to go on a camping trip for a couple of nights at their favourite spot, deep in the woods on the Appalachian Trail. On their first day, they meet a 'straggly' looking loner, who they decide to invite to join them for dinner... because looking out for fellow campers is an unspoken rule of the trail. However, this stranger isn't a well-intentioned as Sean and Scott and things go very bad, very quickly. And when a former...

This week, we're putting a Bizarroworld twist on the old Anti-Bucket List with an ACTUAL Bucket List... of trivial shit. And while Mel has hit the trivial brief, she's potentially aimed a bit high with her offerings. We disagree over some judgemental opinions, including one that happened on a plane, and we face off over shopping trolley etiquette again when Mel presents Monty with evidence that not putting it back is... shit. 😂 Enjoy!

Everything seems perfect, until their three-year-old daughter becomes very invested in an imaginary friend, an elderly man named 'Mr Gordy'.

WARNING: This is a VERY adult podcast, so we don't recommend listening with little people around.  In November 1992, a woman named Mary Jo Buttafuoco opened the door of her home to find a teenage girl standing on her doorstep. Minutes later, her life would be changed forever. That teenager was Amy Fisher, and she was about to do something very bad in order to secure the love of the 36-year-old married father of two that she'd been having sex with her for over a year: Mary-Jo's husband, Joey...

This week, we question whether the world has gone mad with two ridiculous items that we're pretty certain NO ONE has asked for. Monty tells us about a fellow mum's strange get-up at school pick-up, her dalliance with The Rock and an incident at pilates that is giving us massive deja-vu.  There's also money woes, camel toes and we remember Kurt Cobain ahead of the  30th anniversary of his tragic death.
