In this Episode Summer’s here, Mark’s hamstring might be fixed, and Richard hasn’t slept properly since the roadworks began. Between updates on grandchildren, theories about what’s keeping Richard awake, and a deep dive into the weirdest old TV shows and adverts they can remember, this episode is basically two blokes trying to stay on topic and failing gloriously.

In this episode, Richard takes us behind the scenes of his bid to become Prime Minister, offering a candid glimpse into what leadership and life at the top might look like. He also shares a charming story about the cherry tree on his road — and why it still makes him laugh today.

Mark jumps in with his trademark energy, diving into sports, mishaps, and the kind of funny situations only he could find himself in.

Together, Richard and Mark trade hilarious memories from their past, blending banter, nostalgia, and warm storytelling that makes you feel like you’re right there in the room with them.

In this episode, Richard somehow manages to cram a dentist appointment, a wander around Selfridges, and a dash through Marks & Spencer into a single day. Frankly, it’s the kind of schedule that would defeat most athletes, but Richard soldiers on — and naturally returns with enough dramatic tales to make it sound like he survived an expedition to the Arctic.

We also dive into books… and more books… and even the books Richard has written. Go on, take a wild guess at how many he’s churned out. Spoiler: it’s more than you think and fewer than he claims.

Meanwhile, Mark talks about his boxing days and the other mysterious activities he gets up to when he’s not punching things. Richard reminisces about his own sporting “glory days,” which may or may not have peaked during secondary school PE lessons.
