    Recorded August 2019. Which is why all the references are from a distant era, pre-Brexit, when Corona was just the only beer you put a lime into for some unknown reason. Jack's Dad and actor Tony Gardner joins us for this episode, in what could potentially be a career-defining role. In fact, after listening back to this, we are convinced this will have massive implications for his career. Raghu discusses the Royal Family (#EatTheRich), Jack commits Patricide and Tony discovers the dangers of reading through Urban Dictionary in a pub whilst waiting to come to the recording... Oh boy.

    This week, Sebastian (who once again is bravely told to tell his story first), recounts a treasured story from his childhood: an encounter which he is likely the only person to remember, and has been festering over with fury for the last dozen years. In other words, the absolute perfect story for this podcast. In detailing a story about his "sweet ass tattoo" (check the insta: butterflies_on_the_wheel), Jack humiliates a work colleague and potentially destroys a nascent friendship in his attempts to make strangers laugh. And he would do it again, goddamnit. Raghu finds both his co-hosts to be more guilty of being judged than the Trivial Criminals they present, continuing a theme that will reemerge as this podcast continues.
