About this listen

This week it’s just Marc and Richard — reunited for the first proper two-hander of the year — and they’ve done something questionable: they’ve entered the Wolf Pack London-to-Hastings Survival Race.

No phones. No maps. No sleep. No dignity.

Just two men in their 40s trying very hard not to die in a field.

The boys talk gear, delusion, training, navigation, and whether it’s ethically acceptable to “accidentally” walk past Marc’s house halfway through the race for a hot shower and a bacon sandwich.

Plus: Richard has a fall (not to be confused with falling over, which young people do). Marc’s dad also “fell over” in spectacular fashion on the Tube. The difference matters.

They also recap their annual Sleepy Old Men Weekend, an NFL marathon that used to be easy and is now… not. Marc tests non-alcoholic social elixirs, Richard explains why buggies are “real golf,” and both accept they’re not who they were a decade ago.

It’s pure midlife chaos: survival races, injuries, gear chat, sobriety experiments, and two men over-preparing for a 30-mile walk like it’s SAS: Who Dares Wins.
