  • We Lied… Sort Of…
    Jul 16 2025

    🚨 Missed us already? We said we were on hiatus… but here’s a surprise special. Get extra chaos on Patreon → patreon.com/SortofaPound

    Guess what? We lied. Sort of. Shane and Louise can’t resist popping in with a bonus episode packed with TV rants, nostalgic throwbacks, and accidental life hacks you didn’t know you needed.

    From heartbreak over The Last of Us (major spoilers, fair warning!) to Ghost Whisperer’s ghostly nonsense and a total meltdown about Heart of Dixie, it’s a whiplash tour through everything we love and hate about TV endings. Tessie’s here too, freshly trimmed and deeply unimpressed.

    Also featuring: shopping bargains turned into TV stands, easels that double as telly props, Schitt’s Creek love letters, and big plans for the next SOAP era. We said we’d rest. We failed.

    📺 TV shows that broke our hearts (Spooks, Walking Dead, Ghost Whisperer)

    🎮 The Last of Us rant: spoiler alert!

    🎬 Heartland, One Tree Hill & other 00s classics

  • The Summer Holiday Special
    Jul 9 2025

    🚨 Dive into our Patreon for bonus stories, holiday mishaps & a peek behind the scenes → patreon.com/SortofaPound

    It’s our 20th episode! Shane and Louise celebrate with an unplanned whirlwind of holiday tales, money-saving hacks, and Tessie’s new haircut reveal.

    From epic outlet shopping in Vegas, to spontaneous ziplining fears, jellyfish stings in Miami and the weirdest dog grooming confessions - it’s the ultimate holiday special you never asked for.

    There’s tales of High School Musical pilgrimages, discount coupon miracles in CVS, random car hire rants, and Shane’s accidental spoiler about his wrestling tag match finish.

    Plus, big news: we’re taking a short summer break to plot new segments and come back bigger, funnier, and probably just as chaotic.

  • Sky: The One Where We Accidentally Became MoneySavingExperts
    Jul 2 2025

    🚨 Want to brag about your best bargain? Join our Patreon for bonus clips, confessionals & exclusive content → patreon.com/SortofaPound

    This week, Shane and Louise accidentally become Martin Lewis Live. From broadband nightmares to miracle Nike trainers, it’s a full-blown consumer champion episode - but with more swearing and fewer facts.

    Shane gets a Sky deal so good it sounds illegal. Louise reminisces about broadband being buried in his garden. And parcel delivery disasters spark a nationwide call to arms (and refund chatbots).

    👟 Louise finds spiritual enlightenment in Nike Air Max

    📺 Sky Glass, Netflix, broadband & somehow a new TV
