Every Day a New Nadir

Aye up duck! You're probably listening to this episode in May (unless you're an EDNN enthusiast/anorak, going back over our greatest hits in the year 2027), but it was recorded way, way back in the first half of April. Hence, there are references to dead royals, pubs reopening outdoor seating and the Indian variant was yet to cancel summer. In time honoured fashion we comment on the latest round of re-opening in the UK, before things likely close back up again, allowing us to do another re-opening special in four months time. We ask some big questions, including who is gagging to get back into Next? What did the British do before coffee shops? Will Pete ever have sex again without dates taking place in low-lit pubs and does Leigh want a landline in his flat? There's some 'uncle Stringfellow redux' in there, deep analysis of the hit 90s sitcom Keeping Up Appearances and Leigh's big summer plans for a pandemic gay cruise. If that doesn't bring the punters in, we don't know what will. Find us on Twitter - @ednnpodcast @LeighHBennett @kennedy121 All podcast cover art courtesy of @aaronsage001

Join us for a very special ramble in which Pete's not just talking to himself, but talking to himself with his ol' mucker Aaron present! Strap in for a roller-coaster of a ride featuring a dog attack, Pete being high as a kite after 17 hours without sustenance and we complete a spring day's odyssey walking along a main road. All this without taking a break from recording, like the podcasting professionals we are.* *Apart from the bit where the sound becomes muffled as Pete put his phone in his pocket, forgetting he was recording.

Off the back of an afternoon of refreshments, Leigh comes steaming (in every sense) in to the podcast. He regales us with tales of making friends with two Swedish men, before going on to analyse world history over a 150 year time-span. Pete largely marvels at it all whilst noisily chomping on crisps and wondering if Leigh ever had sex with a Welsher in his youth... @LeighHBennett @kennedy121 Cover art by @aaronsage001

Welcome to the long-awaited return of TLTAFOPOTI, recorded following the announcement that football had been shot in the back by the European Super League. Yet, within 24 hours or less of recording, reconstructive surgery had the game back on its feet, making much of the episode's content redundant. No longer quite so beautiful, football shall stumble on as before, debased by the billionaire sheikhs and oligarchs using clubs as personal play things and eternal cash cows. Happy days. @LeighHBennett @kennedy121 Cover art by @aaronsage001

Pete has moved. Again. Join him for a countryside ramble, as he pontificates on the death of Prince Phillip and Sarah Pascoe.

Welcome to a very special edition of the ramble in which we hear from Pete both before and after what may very well turn out to be his final ever date... @kennedy121 @LeighHBennett Cover art by @Aaronsage001

In episode 30 two elderly men discuss politics. That's it. @ednnpodcast @LeighHBennett @kennedy121 Cover Art by @aaronsage1

Pete recorded a ramble with a wine 'n' whiskey hangover and a massive cob on. Think of Larry David + Victor Meldrew in a proper mood. Strap in kids! @ednnpodcast @LeighHBennett @kennedy121 Cover art by @aaronsage001

For the archivist enthusiasts, we bring you a ramble Pete recorded way back in October last year when we thought things couldn't get any worse. How wrong we were.

Welcome all to an episode delayed due to various life developments, including Pete once again moving to a new city for absolutely no reason. It's also a mash up special as Leigh partakes of the space pipes, leaving him totally unable to reign in the excesses of Pete's nonecdotes. Pete gives an early debrief on his life in Bristol, including the fact he seems to be having very little luck on the sex and romance front, given the locals have a far greater choice of prospective lovers. We also hear a lengthy tale of his travels (and travails) across the city at the brisk pace of 12mph via electric scooter. Pins and needles onanism, the 'prime of Aaron Bastani's life' and Pete's possible future as a dreadlocked amateur DJ, high on drugs living as part of a polycule are all discussed. The episode takes off (or reaches a new nadir, depending on one's view) as Pete waxes lyrical about his Belgian odyssey back in the winter of 2017. Tales of walking donkeys between villages, carting a child around in a wheelbarrow, stealing leaves from a municipality outside Bruges and a sensual fire-side interaction with a mum will astound and bemuse. We finish up on a long-awaited update on Flemish politics and the discovery that Japanese style 'love hotels' are becoming a thing in the UK. Don't do drugs, kids. @Kennedy121 @LeighHBennett Cover art by @aaronsage001

We return far later than expected following Pete's latest sudden super-spreading move to another city and lack of time to upload this episode beforehand. No doubt said move will be discussed in a future episode, but episode 28 saw us take a deep dive into the recent documentary series 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' by Adam Curtis. This is largely down to friend of the show @aaronsage001 asking us to give our views on it, leading us to watch all 7 hours between Thursday and Sunday like the captains of industry we are. Other than that, Pete drops a personal bombshell which can only be fully appreciated by listening to the episode. Take care out there, kids. Cover art by @aaronsage001 @kennedy121 @LeighHBennett

Welcome to the long-awaited (possibly by someone out there) return of the ramble. After three months away, Pete must have matters of great pith and moment to discuss with our beloved audience. Well, it turns out that isn't the case, as he describes the dog muck problem in his local area, before sharing a nonecdote about a toddler picking up a giant turd in Switzerland in 2016. Listen to Pete's thoughts on his 'chip shop kampf,' The Dom Jolly Renaissance, penises 'going south' and dealing with childhood trauma through the age old treatment of kicking a football around. That's your f(Ph)ill. Cover art: @aaronsage001 Find us one Twitter. Do it yourselves ya lazy sods.

Welcome to a delayed edition of Every Day A New Nadir, the podcast that asks the big questions, including just how big exactly are the dinners eaten by Tory MP Gary Sambrook? Having dealt with the size of dinners eaten by morbidly obese fans of austerity, we enter a fascinating discussion on how we go about titling each episode.  Can we take on Joe Rogan's massive podcasting destroyer with our nimble speedboat?  Pete gets his nonecdote in early this week, with a whimsical tale of a dessert given to him by a stranger from the boot of her Vauxhal Corsa. We also hear a bit about dating outdoors in subzero temperatures.  Leigh gives us a long-overdue review of the 1993 film Demolition Man, before telling us about his Crème brûlée barometer (not a euphemism apparently).  There's a fairly dull bit on how the plural works in the English language, luckily cut short by Leigh's daughter walking in on the recording. On Leigh's return, we get into a discussion about billionaire fanbois, Hobbes in space, our possible Star Trek or The Expanse future, and Leigh's big idea of levelling Idaho to make way for solar panels.  We finish off by sending off Captain Tom Moore with a bit of good ol' fashioned southern hospitality.  Cover art: @aaronsage001 Find Pete on Twitter: @kennedy121 & Instagram @feistyflaneur Maybe look Leigh up if nowt else on: @LeighHBennett

Another week, another episode of Every Day A New Nadir firing up your ear pipes, offering hitherto unknown aural pleasures. Audiophiles might notice Leigh sounding slightly 'aurally wonky', but normal people probably won't pay it much mind. We open the show with questions surrounding where Pete is currently located given the sound of fan in the background. Is he in Sheffield as he claims to be, or in fact hiding in some evil lair in the Bahamas? Either way, as is customary, we check-in on his bowels with Pete's Bowel Update (III).  We hear the romantic tale of the decade as 'Pete Wide Open' was forced to watch the clock during some 'afternoon delight' to ensure he was home in time for an Asda delivery.  Leigh 'King of Mobile Data' Bennett wonders whether watching Big Break on Swedish buses could make him a Proper English Bloke (see passim...AGAIN).  Has Cancer lost its crown as 'The Big C' to the other 'big C' currently circulating?  We enter a discussion about conspiracy theories and their prevalence in our era of historically low levels of working class consciousness. Does social media peddled madness help people create a meaningful, if insane, narrative which help them explain all the bad things in the world? What if the reality that a global system which sees people as expendable fodder is more terrifying than Bill Gates implanting everyone with tiny 5G emitters? In this vein we discuss a number of conspiracies, including Courtney Love's murder of John Hamm (this might be worth Googling for verification), JFK getting ketchup all over his head in that car, and flat earthers like Kennedy Schnowder III. Did Alex Jones bust the Biker Grove conspiracy wide open twenty years ago? Is Ahmadinejad back?  Can wannabe autocrats be beaten by polite politicians with strong haircuts? We finish up on a rant about right-wing berks, with honorable mention to Matt 'fucked like a rag doll' Hancock.  Cover Art: @aaronsage001 Find us on social media, @ednnpodcast1 @kennedy121  @LeighHBennett 

Welcome one and all to episode 25, which is probably episode 26 or 27 if counting the 'lost episodes', which we're not. As seems to be our new custom for season 3, we begin the episode wondering the age of Pete's bowels and Leigh questions his '6 a week' tonic water habit. We delve into a mini tech special at Leigh's behest as he explains his online privacy concerns, which Pete unceremoniously waves off as mostly paranoia. Pete baulks at the possibility of Leigh receiving a blue tick for his professional Twitter account. We wonder if it's possible to call in bomb threats now everyone is working from home, and then onto the Swedish penal system. Sort of. Leigh has a fascinating idea for Pete to livestream his reaction to old TV shows via Twitch, something Pete definitely hasn't discussed on the podcast at least 15 times. Could Pete soon be 'twitching over' Big Break (see passim...again)? The legendary missing member of Kraftwerk, Anal Schwabb, gets a mention as we for some reason delve into the murky world of Pete's recent STI test. Would you buy a hipster beer called Camden Brolly? If so, Pete probably hates you. In time-honoured tradition we finish with Pete's weekly nonecdote and a rapid overview of his time as a chubby bookseller at Ottaker's bookshop (liquidated) and Chichester Technical College (still operating). On behalf of the enthusiasts we've left in a section of the audio where only Pete can be heard due to a technical difficulty on Leigh's part, largely because Leigh couldn't be naffed to edit it out. 'Ave it! Cover art: @aaronsage001 Pete: @kennedy121 /@feistyflaneur (Tawney) Leigh: @leighhbennett

Did you miss us? No. Did we miss you? Of course we didn't. Yet, here we all are suffering the podcasting equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome (quite literally for Leigh)! Having last recorded an episode way, way back in October (which may be uploaded at a later date if a Japanese bootleg copy can be found) we discuss what has changed since and it appears largely sweet FA. We analyse some of the news and when we say analyse, we mean mention a topic and immediately move on. Leigh wonders where he would travel if he were to do so (but won't), Pete mentions enjoying vegan After Eight (8.30s) and we pay our respects to Phil Spectre before close inspection of Leigh's interregnum. It wouldn't be a podcast in the year of the lord two thousand and twenty one if we didn't discuss the topic on everyone's lips - how long does it take to travel by horse and cart from Tennessee to Washington DC. Covid is also discussed.  We wrap things up with a condom based nonecdote from Pete, weather chat, Leigh's big prat fall, erections on tap, our having 'Neal' supporters on Buy Me A Coffee and wondering who might be listening to the show overlooking the magesterial Dusseldorf quays. Yes, that's it. Cover art by @aaronsage1 @ednnpodcast1 @kennedy121 Leigh@Twitter.org

Welcome dears listener as we return to tickle your funny bone and pump off your thought pipes with a hard hitting new episode, hot and fresh out of the kitchen! Episode 22 features Leigh getting a word in edge-ways (for a bit) as we hear about his possibly soon to be surgically removed neck. We get a rare glimpse into the host's private medical life, including his cancer 'adventure' as Pete respectfully terms it. This all ties in with the upcoming 'Ask Dr Johnny Bananas Anything' medical special. Following Leigh's visit to a physiotherapist, Pete considers the etiquette surrounding involuntary penile tumescence during massages (IPTDM).  We get what Pete feels should be the last tanning update for the foreseeable future, before he sets the world's greatest minds the scientific challenge of the age - solving The Peter Paradox. Things culminate in a lengthy discussion over whether we are truly living in The End Times™, no doubt something to warm the cockles of the heart on drab Autumn eves.  That's ya lot! @ednnpodcast1 @leighHbennett @kennedy121 Episode cover artwork by @aaronsage001

We're very excited to introduce a brand new addition to the Every Day A New Nadir stable - Two Lads Talking About Football On A Podcast On the Internet (or TLTAFOPOTI)! For the opener we discuss Pete's misspent youth watching Chelsea play mediocre football in the mid-1990s, whilst his brother spent Saturdays becoming cultured in the art galleries of London. We delve into the commodification and debasement of the beautiful game in recent years. Given Spurs were the original 'floater' team way back in the 1980s, is the marketisation of the game all that recent phenomena? A lengthy discussion on racism, misogyny, and classism in football and across society more widely ensues, leading us to one very powerful conclusion - fuck Sue Barker. Stay tuned for details of Pete's forthcoming cricket spin-off - One Lad Talks About Cricket On A Podcast Over The Internet (OLTACOPOTI)! @ednnpodcast1 @kennedy121 @leighhbennett Episode artwork by Aaron Sage @aaronsage001

Episode 21 sees a return to normal service with the return of man about town, Leigh, to hosting duties.  For some reason Leigh wants to know the details of Pete's dinner, which turns out the be what he terms a 'high-class' version of beans on toast. Leigh's not buying it for a second.  There's an update on Pete's neighbours, one of whom looks and dresses like Nigel Farage. Their dog currently has a cone around its head post-operation, which leads us to ask, how would Pete's life change with a cone around his head? We then move on to hear Pete's weekly, long drawn out, not incredibly interesting life anecdote. This time it's the underwhelming tale of a trip to Specsavers, where an optometrist did his very best to pass Covid on to him. The moral of the story? Shouldn't have gone to Specsavers.  Are confident, double-breasted jacket-wearing men working in opticians in provincial towns in the south-east of England more convincing than the general public?  Pete wonders aloud whether he should meet a 46 year old divorcee for sex or go for another tan the morning after recording.  Could a political party running on a 'burqas for all' policy be a goer?  We return to the terrifying reality that is the US presidential election, not without a mention of Ed Miliband's favourite curry.  Pete lets slip the huge revelation he doesn't own a toaster. Leigh tries to outdo him by revealing he didn't own a toaster or an oven whilst living in China. But he did own a toaster oven. This all comes out as Pete explains he was looking at the grill of his oven and wondering if he can tan himself using it, without doing a Slyvia Plath.  As usual we end on a low note, as Pete describes how he was once invited into a woman's bedroom to look at her tortoise the size of a two pence piece.  God have mercy on our souls. 

It's the moment you (well, our friend Rob) have been waiting for...It's been 6+ years since Pete last recorded a regular podcast, now lost to the 'anals' of history, with his old school chum Aaron, who joins as this week's guest host! The Aaron and Pete podcast ran between the years 2011 - 2014 and as this week's show kicks off discussing Pete's chronic bowel issues, it's like we've never been away. We wonder if suffering chronic wind constitutes the ultimate means of social distancing? We move from discussing deep space and the possible connection between Pete's bowel issues and theoretical extraterrestrial life on Venus to Aaron's relationship HECK and absconsion soon after moving in with his partner. Aaron makes the wild claim he's being followed by Val Kilmer on Twitter, which Pete takes at face value during the show. The most cursory of checks of Aaron's follower list post-recording suggests the claim to be bullshine of the highest order. Yet, that doesn't stop us from dreaming about Aaron's potential future living in LA as Kilmer's personal illustrator! Aaron raises the thorny issue of Pete's predilection for plastering social media with selfies in a manner only a friend can - a form of gentle 'intervention' in a way. Pete blames his vanity on insecurity instilled on him from a young age when women wouldn't touch him with a fouled stick. Was being turned down to join a short-lived teenage boy-band for not being good looking enough where it all went wrong for him in life? Does the ephemeral nature of beauty increase its poignancy? Or is Pete, at the end of the day, a conceited tit? It wouldn't be an episode of Everyday A New Nadir without pornography being discussed ad nauseam. Is TikTok making hardcore pornography redundant? What can we learn about human porn addiction from male rats? Why do women regularly contact Pete on social media and send him unsolicited nudes? Is it his 'silver tongue', or as Aaron proposes, silver thumb? We end the show co-devising a bowel themed Haiku, which sums up the tone of things nicely. Don't panic, the other fella will be back next time! @ednnpodcast1 www.buymeacoffee.com/ednnpodcast @kennedy121 @leighHBennett (what's the H for?!) Special guest host and episode artwork @aaronsage001

After a three week hiatus due to Pete almost destroying his computer whilst having casual sex, we return to mining verbal gold and piping it into your lug 'ols. We discuss Pete's new-found tanning booth habit and how much healthier his cadaver will look on show at his melanoma-induced funeral. But will his mahogany skin clash with the mahogany coffin?  Would being shot into space for a trillion years be an improvement on Pete's current existence? Leigh seems hellbent (!) on mentioning as many famous homosexual men from the 1990s TV, which somehow leads us yet again to Jim Davidson and Big Break (see passim). Leigh isn't sure how to pronounce Richard Madeley's last name. Is 'Madeley' or 'Madeley'?!  A lengthy 'nonecdote' about Pete having two haircuts in one day ensues, before we return to the topic that keeps on giving - Covid-19. Pete beseeches the listeners to call 'AC/DC' and make threatening calls about Leigh.  Exciting plans are underway for our very own football spin-off podcast 'Two Lads Talk Football Over The Internet On A Podcast' (or TLTFOTIOIOAPC as it will likely come to be known). We examine Leigh's propensity to pump-off surrounded by elderly people at the gym at the ungodly hour of 5am. Pete proposes both he and Leigh should get buff, before Leigh wonders aloud whether he should create an OnlyFans account (probably not).  Things implode in the final section as Pete wonders if he hasn't had anything published because he has been submitting work to possibly long-wound up publishing houses, given that he's using a writers' handbook from 2014.  Can we all avoid cancer just by doing the exact opposite to what Leigh has done for the last two decades? Where can Pete procure drugs in Sheffield for less than the market rate of 'two haircuts'? Everything seems to be ending until Pete goes off on a pro-table service rant. Don't have nightmares kids...

Another week, another ramble. Take another journey into the pinball machine that is Pete's mind. This week featuring weather as a portent of The End Times, Pete's aim to become the Dale Winton (not dead version) of the North, a feisty local using his wheelchair to pick up women and a diatribe against a youth football coach Pete holds a grudge against 25 years on...

Welcome to a bumper episode of Every Day A New Nadir, which this week reaches a new 70 minute nadir!  The episode is recorded off the back of Pete's move, allowing us to put to bed questions over where he'll be super spreading next. He settled on Sheffield if only to finish what he began in March. Instead of walking between two men, his return journey involved urinating in his car between two lorries. After briefly touching on Pete's traumatic go-karting experience outside Brussels in the mid-00s, we discuss news now weeks old in the form of the fiasco surrounding A-Level results. Are algorithms destroying society, or just finishing off the job humanity began? Can politicians make mistakes and admit them without being fed to the proverbial wolves, in a media circus we're all complicit in?  As usual, it stays high brow only for so long, before discussing the middle-aged woman living next door seeing Pete's anus through his big window. Should Pete start a Twitch stream through which he watches old episodes of the hit 90s snooker based TV quiz show Big Break? Is Royal Tunbridge Wells in the middle of nowhere? Is it good everyone in Sheffield agrees about everything politically? Should men use Murakami books to pick up women in public places? Are audiobooks a sign of late-stage capitalism and what happened to 'actual f*cking breakfast' before Gary Kellogg came along?  We finish by teeing up a possible book club side-pod, hosted by none other than the ghost of Waco cult leader David Koresh.  Enjoy the show and take care out there!

Given the fact we are but two months out from the most important, and no doubt terrifying, US election of our lifetimes, we bring you a US election special. Can 'Sleepy Joe' Biden Awaken a polarised American publics' erstwhile acceptance of and pride in democratic norms? Or will The Donald and his cohort of far-right mentalists cling on to power by any means necessary? Hear our take on the campaign, as well as our predictions of the result. As we can never finish off an episode on a high note, Pete rounds things off by insulting the audience and asking Leigh's dad to send us cash.

Another week, another ramble through the dark depths of Pete's troubled mind. Follow him if you dare as he discusses the havoc Covid-19 has played upon his tea making abilities, a 25 year old episode of Seinfeld, Covid-19 itself (yes, again) and whether podcasting is the absolute lowest form of creative 'art' (answer - of course it is).  Good luck. 

After a short hiatus following respective life crises, we're back with a bang! After once again being denied safe harbour in Leigh's flat, Pete imagines the podcasting gold which could be mined from attending Leigh's funeral. After touching upon Leigh's visit to Gary Hemingway's home in Key West and Jordan Peterson's meat, we discuss alcoholism and whether it could offer a positive new lifestyle for Pete. We hear about Leigh living in the Swedish version of the 1980s hit sitcom 'Cheers', and Pete's Swiss cafe 'four-seater hell'.  Leigh's Welsh name, Pete's dying name, and the joy of fags segues into closing the episode with a special financial and legal advice segment.  Stick around for the end of the show to hear a hilarious, if mildly terrifying mash-up, lovingly crafted by friend of the show Aaron Sage. 

Hot off the back of a couple of 'big dinners', we sit down for a particularly sweaty episode 16, brought to you by Cliff Richard. Given the current heatwave, we couldn't avoid inane weather chat, including an update from Leigh's wandering around Stockholm's 'Munter District' late at night wearing a hoodie and jeans. Having spent much of the weekend on the pebble strewn, COVID-19 flecked beaches of Brighton, Pete suggests government enforcement of a 'burqas for all' policy and wonders why seeing people in hardly any clothing can be sexually arousing in one context, but not particularly in another. Leigh quite sensibly steers well clear of the subject.  After a quick update on Pete's never-ending move, we hear about his dream to go back in time and present the 20+ year defunct Channel 4 show 'Football Italia'. Or at least replicate it in his back garden. The idea of recording paper reviews is swiftly shot down as infeasible given the fast-paced, changing nature of current affairs, but Pete can still dream! We then move on to a lengthy discussion comparing the fears for future society as set out by George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, via a fat shot of Neil Postman. We discuss how Postman's book ‘Amusing Ourselves To Death' delivered a prescient analysis of his future's, and our present's, cultural-political malaise. Or he may have, but having not read the book, we cannot confirm this to be the case. *For the authentic Every Day A New Nadir experience, please listen whilst eating a bowl of blueberries. 

Welcome back dear listener(s?)! In episode 15 we touch upon myriad topics, some low brow, others the very highest of brow. As ever, it's a podcast of great pith and moment which may change the way you look at the world forever. Failing that, the way you look at high-street banking. We begin with Pete's love of the Scotch, Welsh and our limited knowledge of the London borough of Fulham. Pete's friend Aaron gets yet another mention, this time with his savvy coining of a phrase to describe Pete's raconteur-esque anecdotes. After touching on the business practices of the Brighton chain of Burger King in the early 00s, we move onto the meat 'n' potatoes of the episode. A brief, but earnest discussion of our mental health struggles precedes an analysis of the scapegoating of Muslims in N-West England for the uptick in cases of covid19 in that area. It's DEFINITELY the Muslims, not all the white people packed into the pubs like cretinous sardines. After Pete's half-lecture, half-rant on all that, we're back on Terra Firma, with porn for the blind and how Pete's punking of a high-street bank blew up in his face. You lucky, lucky sausages. www.buymeacoffee.com/ednnpodcast Find us on Twitter @ednnpodcast1 Email us (Leigh) abuse via ednnpodcast@gmail.com *leave us a review on iTunes beside Beyonce and U2*

Pete's been out walking again. In the wind. Apparently someone was trying to shoot a pigeon. Also, get ready to learn about Gary Bolton. Your guess is as good as mine

Well done on downloading episode 14 you incredibly intelligent, sexually attractive person you! Join us this week for an in-depth Don McLean special, during which we discuss the career and influence of the legendary folk singer, Don McLean. For about 28 seconds. We move on to NOT discuss grime artist Wiley's anti-semitic Twitter screed and Leigh wonders once more where Pete is living. Though after a terrible week, things are looking up for Pete due to a 'not significant', small cash windfall and a negative Covid-19 test result. That's before we hear about the collapse of his relationship, quite possibly under the weight of too many Tom Jones medleys. Leigh bravely comes out about his bitter struggle with erectile dysfunction, before we jump into Covid (again), Swedish gyms, work productivity and office Karens. Things almost end on an intellectual high-note, before Pete asks why all British pornography features Geordie lads and expounds on the strangest plot-line for a porn scene he has ever witnessed. This link will take you to the scene in question (very much NSFW) if you want a 360 degree, panoramic view from inside Pete's brain during the pod. Before you tot off to listen- if you're enjoying this content, please do share it around with your nearest and dearest. Or just spam internet mentalists with the link. We're only asking for a share on social media, not cash (yet), we're not asking much!

Episode 13 begins with a bang and enough 'f'in & Jeff'in' within the first minute to bar us from the lucrative family friendly podcast market.  This week we beseech our listeners to NOT seek out our Youtube account, tee up a possible 'brown noise' version of the podcast and discuss the fact that a giant swarm of flying ants off the coast of Kent can be seen from space. Though that wasn't the only sign of the apocalypse over the country, with the news that a 'bone eating' vulture made a rare visit to the UK, as if alerted to an uptick in freshly laid corpses across the land... It appears our Omani fan-base has dissipated, but we forget those turncoats and focus on the probability our dulcet tones may be gently wafting their way through a provincial Dutch brothel instead. We touch upon Leigh's late 00s drug fuelled 'Threads' session, the life and times of 'Milton Keynes', the threat our lunatic fan-base poses to Pete's life, and your two favourite podcasters becoming potential housemates (Leigh will come around to the idea!). Somehow this is all part of a discussion on UK housing regulation. Don't ask why. 'Lenin Jew's' critical role in the Cultural Revolution is the point at which we give up. Those are just SOME of this week's topics. God I wish they weren't.

Pete decided the world needs more Pete.  (It should be stressed, I haven't even listened to the whole thing)

We're back with what is, largely, a more sober (literally), thoughtful affair. That doesn't mean there isn't a solid 10-15 minutes of nonsense if that's your kind of thing. Episode 12 asks when Pete will be cancelled and we can only assume sooner, rather than later. Plans are afoot for a 'Lady Special' to up our female listener-ship and the possibility of an episode recorded by Pete LIVE from Ghana. Our valued listeners are treated to an update on Pete's SBS (see passim) and his very solemn treatment of the news of a death in Leigh's family (ages ago). These grandiose preliminaries make way for the real meat 'n' potatoes of the pod - is British journalism fucked? The question is raised in response to this mad Guardian article; https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/08/imagine-the-state-wed-be-in-if-corbyn-had-been-in-charge-the-view-from-the-red-wall After discussing how out of touch The Guardian is, we move on to that other failing British institution, the crumbling 'broad church' that is The Labour Party. Sorry.

Following the loss of The Pub Day Special (episode 10) to everyone bar Japanese bootleggers comes the meandering mess that is episode 11. A mildly surly Leigh resigns himself to another 45 minutes of Pete's babbling brook of bullshit. This week with added talking over one another! We tantalise our dear listeners' lugholes with a Smörgåsbord of aural delights, including; Wondering who is listening in Oman, what our life as Omani celebrities might be like and can Pete drive there? The similarities between Pete and P Diddy. Peter Stringfellow (and his stolen carpets) - in memoriam. The Tax and Income Special - how the British state chased Leigh to China for the princely sum of £127 and Pete ‘earned' a month's salary from Homebase never having done a day's work for the company. The age Pete discovered what a ‘Scooby Snack' is (30). Sean Hannity the ‘steak ‘n' butter' alpha male. Pete's asbestos joys and how TEFL courses gave Leigh cancer. Finally, our proud announcement Every Day A New Nadir will henceforth be sponsored by DOW Chemical (a Dupont corporation). You lucky sods!

Episode 9 makes a brave, long overdue attempt to de-stigmatise the living hell that is Sweaty Back Syndrome (SBS). We explore the potential health benefits of semen smoothies and wonder whether money laundering for drug cartels could offer a lucrative revenue stream for the podcast. Pete considers a possible career move into the tech industry working for OpenAI and offers life advice to Mark Zuckerberg. Baba booey.

Breaking the law. Breaking the law. Pete's breaking the law.

Pete's got a potato in the oven.  We also discuss current events. 

We are back. We haven't got any better at this. Sound quality has marginally improved. We discuss the coronavirus. Because there is nothing else to talk about.

You will have to listen to it. 

We discuss Pete's ongoing food poisoning, Gone Girl, Gavin & Stacey, more migration discussions, and a bunch of other things including Trump, the end of the world, and Paul Nuttall. It is quite meandering to be honest.

Pete's got opinions.

This isn't much better than the first.

This was recorded almost three years ago. The quality hasn't improved.
