This week we're discussing the difference between tolerance and acceptance.

There's a drunk racoon, vaccination chat, and I am back to my usual disappointing worst in the lyric quiz.

There is also a single uttering of the f-word so, if you're easily offended, you might be better off with 'The One Show'.

Happy New Year.

This week we're talking about expereinces that move you unexpectedly. 

I offer the example of a key change in a James Taylor song that moved me before realising that it doesn’t have a key change in it at all. It was the introduction of the string section at the beginning of the third verse which got me, but it's still a valid example I reckon.

In other news,  Martin is still struggling with Christmas, there are li...

This week, we're discussing an effective antidote to anything that triggers feelings of anxiety, stress, overwhelm or sadness.

Martin suggests some world records we can have a crack at, and there's some hygiene talk that involves dangerous soap and whether it's right to multitask whilst taking a shower.

This week we're talking about the way the shift in seasons and the changing of the clocks is a point in the year when many of us find our emotional resilience severely tested.

In other news, a bold double bluff doesn't work out, there are alarming developments on the toothpaste front, and we present a gratitude sandwich.

This week we're talking about the tendency to explain too much, a habit that emerges from insecurity in the explainer and often has little to do with the target of the explanation.

A plane is grounded as a result of flatulence, there's a squirrel on wheels, Martin frightens small children, and we debate the wisdom of letting a delivery driver use your toilet.

This week we're talking about an effective way of keeping yourself on track or reducing feelings of overwhelm when you're facing practical and/or emotional challenges.

We also feel grateful for seasonal joy and being fed. 

There's some other nonsense too but I can't remember what it was about and I have a client in 10 minutes so I don't have time to check, and I've just realised that I haven't been ...

We're back!

This week, we're having a conversation about 'shunishment' which might be a word you've never heard of that describes manipulative and controlling behaviour in a relationship.

There's a new quiz, we're both surprisingly grateful for getting older, and some monkeys display questionable behaviour involving fermented fruit.

This week, we're talking about why curiosity is important and how we, sometimes inadvertently, prevent ourselves from exercising it.

We hear about famous people carved from vegetables, and a man gives police an unwelcome gift when they put him under arrest.

This week, we're talking about how we forget most of what we learn and consider  ways of improving retention.

Some friends, having messed with hallucinogens, mistakenly believe their companion to have died, and an elephant pops into a shop for some snacks.

This week, we're talking about how we get in our own way by making things too complicated and failing to establish helpful strategies for getting stuff done.

I nearly burn myself alive with a BBQ, we ponder on what might make it worth being airlifted off a mountain (twice), and we're grateful for the same thing for different reasons.

This week, we're talking about how to avoid putting barriers up to prevent our own progress and how small incremental improvements add up to a lot.

There's also a man who gets shot by his dog, and gratitude for longevity and pizza ovens.

This week, we're talking about the early developmental experiences that might have a significant impact on your ability to establish and sustain relationships.

There's also a cautionary tale about carrying glazed windows on your head down Mill Street.

Apologies if the episode sounds a bit rough around the edges but we recorded it late, I'm trying to upload it before my first client, and I haven't even had a shower...

This week, we discuss the perils of slipping on fruit, fear of vending machines, and the joy of greenhouses and short trousers.

If that weren't enough, we devote the more serious segment of the episode to a discussion on ways to deal with destructive criticism and the behaviours that can replace it toward much happier outcomes.

This week Martin has some wisdom related to the classic film, 'Citizen Kane'.

It's the first episode we've recorded while sitting in the same room for five years and, frankly, it was disturbing.

There's all the usual fun and frolics including the prematurely announced death of a Bulgarian footballer.

This week we're talking about how to keep your composure when someone tells you that Charlie Chaplin films are funny.

A mother steals ice cream from her child, who then gets the police involved, and a snake takes part in a heist and slithers off with some CBD oil.

Basically, it's more of the usual fare and, quite honestly, you'd be disappointed if it wasn't.

This week we're talking about ways of boosting your brain so that you don't find it as hard to remember who had the best selling single in 1974 (Mud - Tiger Feet) and you can manage to churn out a podcast on a Sunday afternoon.

We also discuss the merits of a good apple, reminisce about reading maps, and I'm grateful for plasters.

There's all the usual guff but I can't be more specific than that because I'm in a rush.

This week we're discussing a neuropsychological condition that prevents individuals from expressing and identifying emotions.

We wonder why so many sports have what appears to be an unnecessary dress code, and wonder whether organisers had their priorities right when they allowed smoking and drinking in their events during the 80s whilst insisting the players wore specific clothing.

There's also an obese...
