Touchscreens Have More Bacteria Than Toilet Seats

Mark Wogan is joined by Ash Gould and Steve Denyer for another gloriously bad-tempered episode of Grumpy Old Men, as the trio tear into modern life’s biggest irritations—from socks and sandals making an unwelcome comeback to the chaos of public transport etiquette. With plenty of sharp digs and off-the-cuff humour, the conversation quickly spirals from fashion crimes into everyday frustrations that listeners will instantly recognise. The grumbles come thick and fast: malfunctioning contactless payments, infuriating automatic soap dispensers, and the slow death of basic manners on trains. There’s fury over noisy eaters, bizarre commuter behaviour, and the rise of touchscreens replacing actual buttons—especially in cars, where the tech is branded both pointless and dangerous. The team also take aim at voice-activated gadgets that don’t work, buskers, and the modern obsession with convenience that somehow makes everything harder. If you’ve already been riding along with Grumpy Old Men, this is one of those episodes where everything lands—Wogan’s train horror stories spiral into full-blown disgust, Ash leans into the absurd with deadpan one-liners, and Denyer quietly steals moments with sharp nostalgia and timing. It’s the chemistry that makes it: mates winding each other up, pushing every gripe just a bit further than it should go, and knowing exactly when to let the rant breathe. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Streaming Costs, Loud Phone Calls and TV Subscription Rage

Mark Wogan, Ash Gould and Virgin Radio’s Steve Denyer are back with another gloriously bad-tempered episode of Grumpy Old Men, taking aim at the everyday modern annoyances driving everyone up the wall. This week, the trio tear into the soaring cost of streaming subscriptions, the endless search for something decent to watch, adverts that are louder than the programmes, and the impossible task of cancelling app payments once they’ve got your bank details. There is also plenty of fury over software updates that never stop, public transport passengers who insist on loud phone calls, modern light bulbs that promise the earth and deliver nothing, and the nightmare of changing direct debit details. From YouTube Premium and Netflix frustration to apps that refuse to let you leave, this episode is packed with sharp takes on the small things that make daily life more irritating than it needs to be. And if that was not enough, the grumbles keep coming with rants about season five of TV shows going downhill, people recommending yoga as the answer to everything, and the general misery of modern convenience. If you enjoy funny, relatable podcast chat about the little things that annoy us all, Grumpy Old Men is the perfect weekly dose of moaning, nostalgia and comic frustration. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
