Being Mean with David and Tom is an exploration of the dregs of music. A life - sapping misery filled trawl through the very bottom of the barrel of human talent. Hopefully funny.

    Catch me at the beach - skin fade high and tight, the tips of my tapered jorts crusted with sea salt pumping my arm in the air screaming "Free Skrillex". It truly is the White Boy Summer! You know this is a good ep because when I was editing it there is more audio of us saying 'No cut that out' than there is actual content! But to our defence we were both very sleepy....back with renewed vigour next week! beingmeanpodcast@gmail.com

    No-one asked for it! So we did it. Its a long and confused review of Tomorrow Never Dies - the Pierce Brosnan vehicle. I think it is worth noting that myself, David and (Guest) Ivo are in a whats app group called 'The Brosmen' which is just a really chilled out totally cool space where we exchange thoughts, gossip and feelings regarding Pierce Brosnan so there MAY be some bias in this episode #ad.
