DRUNK LOGIC

Ben Franklin famously said ‘in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes' and we are not talking about taxes. Erica and Simon are joined by Erica's hometown friend Devon to talk about grief and bereavement but most importantly, about how to be a good friend to someone going through that special kind of trauma.

A family trip to London sparks a conversation about growing up and family. Erica romanticises Simon's relationship with his brothers and his upbringing on the mean streets of Penarth. Simon has always been astounded by Erica's bizarre childhood independence and soap opera life. This is a definitely a conversation to be continued in the future. Simon comes up with a very quick plan to murder Erica on a hypothetical deserted island and please, don't even think about separating him from his beloved bamboo products. But Erica has a hit list which deeply concerns Simon.

DRUNK LOGIC is a very random podcast, but Erica and Simon are very aware that without some focus, this podcast skews too random to pick up new listeners. In an attempt to find some order and identity, they enlist the help of Google to brainstorm some podcast theme ideas. Erica learns that Simon knows an actual murderer and Simon has to accept that Erica's foul mouth will prevent them from ever having a kid's podcast.

In this week's episode, Erica and Simon are joined by their first guest, Chef Nathan! They talk about favourite foods, cooking, and how Simon may or may not be a football shirt thief. Chef Nathan gives us exclusive insight into what makes the perfect roast potato. Simon asks a lot of incredibly basic questions and Erica cannot understand the desperation of someone asking for a birthday candle in a pile of mashed potatoes. Essentially this is a potato-based episode. Enjoy!

Erica and Simon discuss their love of football. We discover how Carlos Tevez and Per Mertesacker made Erica fall in love with football in 2010. Simon shares his favourite football moments and Erica has quite a collection of cool football shirts. They're both getting sucked into Simon's Football Manager career and the eco appeal of Forest Green Rovers.

Erica and Simon start 2022 with an episode very tenuously based on the festive holidays all about TOYS. Yes a 40 something and proudly 33 year old talk about toys

The Drunk Logic gang (Erica and Simon) sample a staple, no, an icon of the American dream, #Twinkies. However, we discover that the real reason Erica fled the USA was due to the fact she was embarrassed by the fact she had never (in over 40 years of her life) tried a Twinkie. In this exclusive Erica tries her first Twinkie (so does Simon but he's from Wales so we don't really care).

Mental Health. Where do we even begin? Something we all experience but rarely talk about. This week Erica and Simon talk generally about mental health and coping strategies that have helped them in the past and present. They also get a great surprise from one rather well known Tiger.

In this episode of DRUNK LOGIC On The Rocks Erica chats to Simon in the car on his way to Cardiff City Stadium and reminisce about the time Simon had an unfortunate incident with a plastic container and his own urine whilst driving to a match. Thankfully Erica was on the phone with him at the time and was able to share in the glorious chaos. Simon talks about how he became a fan of Cardiff City and a meat feast stir fry.

Dictionary.com defines dogging as: ‘British slang the practice of carrying out or watching sexual activities in semi-secluded locations such as parks or car parks, often arranged by e-mail or text messages'. In this episode of DRUNK LOGIC Simon makes Erica watch for the first time Channel 4's seminal documentary “Dogging Tales”. Join them both before and directly after watching the episode that has shaped so much of their friendship.

Simon has rightfully called this ‘a meaty episode' and you'll soon understand why.  This conversation is fuelled by Fireball and Erica and Simon were originally intending to spend the whole time talking about music. However, music covers about 10% of the episode because of said Fireball and well, that's just what they do. Simon ends up proposing a side gig as an erotic art artist and Erica gets tipsy and has a real issue with the lack of covid protocol displayed by the Cardiff City mascot Bartley Bluebird. Erica and Simon will be revisiting music in a later episode to give it the justice it truly deserves.

What do we do when no one else is watching? Well, if you're Simon or Erica, it's nothing remotely cool or sexy.  Simon makes some bizarre confessions about Football Manager. Erica has always done weird things with school glue. In future, they will use sweet negotiation tactics to convince Simon's Dad to let them in the loft to look for awesome vintage toys.

How social do we need to be?  Do we need more than one platform for this? Erica and Simon discuss the minefield of social media. How it's brilliant (targeted ads!), how it's awful (racists!)… and everything in between. And waterboarding. Yes, waterboarding. Challenge Jar:  Coffee. Simon finally exhibits some strong opinions (about coffee) and gets way too excited about Raisin Bran. Erica takes Philly cheesesteaks very seriously.

Behold! For those of you who are looking for a mini episode, look no further! In this inaugural episode of DRUNK LOGIC On The Rocks, Erica introduces Simon to the world of Christian sex-before-marriage loopholes. Do vibrating beds still exist in the seedy hotel world? Why does Simon say ‘quarters' like a total weirdo? Why can't Erica say ‘Wirral'? Listen and find out!

Erica and Simon describe themselves as ‘unlikely best friends' and discuss how they were brought together by a flooded carpark, running, a tv show about deviant sex, and burgundy trousers. They chat about what makes a great friend and ponder why we insist on hanging onto toxic friendships. Simon introduces Erica to a very poorly named, overly complicated drink and he's not entirely convinced he didn't name it himself.

Erica and Simon attempt to discuss the rationale behind their sudden dip into podcasting. From simply a conversation in the car - to having a website and merchandise even before a single episode was recorded. They welcome you to join their random conversations as they try and figure out exactly what they are doing.
