Along the way, they recreate classic movie moments, pitch outrageous storylines, and debate which famous movie crime crews they would actually survive in. From Top Boy and Goodfellas to Paid In Full and City of God, this episode is packed with storytelling, nostalgia, film references and some of the funniest improvised moments the podcast has had so far.

Ep 31 - Are We Too Old For Slang Now?! 😭

This episode is pure chaos in the best way possible. From legendary barber shop conversations and terrible old fashion choices to the slang words that should’ve been retired years ago, the guys dive into the funniest parts of growing up and getting older. They debate whether adults should still be using words like “peng”, “lit” and “still”, tell stories about disastrous haircuts abroad, and confess to the childish habits they still can’t let go of. It’s relatable, hilarious, nostalgic and full of the kind of conversations everyone’s had with their friends at some point. If you’ve ever argued in a barber shop, chased pigeons for no reason, or tried to act grown while still doing childish things behind closed doors… this episode is for you.
