With the help of producers Amy Ruffle and James Milsom, Naz brings you the know-how you'll need to conquer the challenges that everyone faces, and even to tackle the things that happen to no one.

We're in Victorian lockdown once again, so the ol' team gets together for a little catch up, in which Naz tries to work out the maths of things, and no one helps him, because it's more fun when we don't help him. Also we have no comprehension of what he is trying to say.

Naz, Amy and James say goodbye after an insane amount of episodes in 2020. And it's goodbye forever, but only until the masses demand a come back, which will be welcomed. But for seriously: we have too much to do in the first bit of 2021 to keep doing this pod properly, so we're taking a break and we'll come back to you when the time is right.
Thank you for supporting this project. We have loved every flamin' minute...

Merrick takes a break from his hectic schedule of jumping out of helicopters and being a punching bag for stronger men to give us some tips on how he does it all. Naz seems confused again, pitching what is surely a product of his twisted mind and not an actual Japanese reality show.

Charlie Pickering gives us the hard data on the US Presidential Election, and things aren't sounding great for the Trumpster (if you're reading this from a future in which he wins again in 2020, you should know that there was a time when lots of people genuinely believed he wouldn't). Naz reveals that he has friendship strategies, tailored differently for different people. It's weird but delightful.

Veronica gives us a preview of some of the frankly pretty confronting but hilarious content that will make up her new podcast, Zero Waste Baby. Naz reveals that his friends beat him up, and there's no one who will do anything about it, because at times like these you fall back on your friends, but he can't because his friends beat him up.
