Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev
Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev is a comedy podcast hosted by Birmingham stand-up comedian Lovdev Barpaga. Each episode dives into everyday life, strange confessions from the internet, bizarre news stories, and the occasional rant about British problems. Lovdev mixes storytelling, observations from life on the comedy circuit, and his own unique take on the weird things people do. It’s relaxed, funny, and unpredictable — like listening to a comedian thinking out loud.
Episodes
We react to a confession from someone who secretly cashed in their brother’s winning lottery ticket and used the money to pay off their own debts… before the guilt slowly started catching up with them years later.
Then we head into conspiracy territory with a discussion around “Tartary” and whether old maps really prove the existence of a hidden lost empire — or whether the internet has simply done what the internet ...
This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, I talk about teaching my son how to ride a bike — and the moment he finally realised he could do it on his own.
We also get into a bizarre question from Reddit asking whether handcuffing a deaf person technically removes their freedom of speech… which honestly led to a much deeper conversation than expected.
Then it’s onto an AITAH story involving a 28-year-old man who’...
We dive into a paranormal story from someone who claims an old woman’s spirit has followed and protected him his entire life — which leads me to question whether I’ve got paranormal activity happening in my own house.

In “What the F?!” we explore the story of Ötzi the Iceman — a man whose body w...
We dive into an AITAH story involving a family blow-up after a grandfather insults his grandkids — and a brutal comeback that may or may not have gone too far.

Lovdev also has a confession of his own this week, plus there’s an update from last week’s firefighter who admitted st...
We kick things off with a discussion around the term “African American” and why it seems to be used for every black person in American TV — even when that doesn’t always make sense.
Then things get morally messy as we react to a firefighter confessing he pocketed £2,000 from a drug dealer while saving his life.
We also tackle a proper British problem — public pianos are a lovely idea… until someone’s child starts trea...

We kick things off with a confession that genuinely stands out — someone has been secretly hiding money around their best friend’s house for over two years, helping them out without ever taking credit. Proof that sometimes… every little really does help.
Then it’s into the everyday ma...
Episode 217 — Baby Out the Window
This week on A Crazy Little Thing Called Lovdev, we dive into Reddit madness once again — from the absolute paranoia of walking through a shop while a group of teenage girls are giggling behind you… to the heartbreak of checking your old house on Street View and realising it’s been turned into a grey, paved car park with zero personality.
I also give a shoutout to fellow comedian Ashl...

Recorded late at night, this episode goes exactly where you’d expect — and then somehow goes deeper.
