Lie Hard With A Vengeance

Hellooo!  Three years in the making, one for each 'o' in that greeting just now, and we're back.  Much happened while we were away? Rick and Paul are delighted to be back & wriggling around in your ears. The series kicks off with those cosy bedfellows Stephen Hawking and Druids of Ancient Britain. Brains, brawn and costumes a plenty. What a combo.  A clean, safe-for-work British comedy podcast - send it your ears and play along. Find the chaps, Rick and Paul on Twitter (and, rarely, insta) @liehardshow.

These are unprecedented times! Oh boy aren't they ever! Though know what's really unprecedented? The amount of times people are saying unprecedented. It's out of control! While you wait patiently for our next series, here's a little something to keep you going. Rick and Paul discuss the merits of Charlie Chaplin, Waterloo and SCUBA safety. You won't find that in any of your so called 'daily briefings'. Now THAT'S unprecedented. Stay safe. Stay warm. Stay classy. stay another day.

This week sees Mad Monk Rasputin take on the excitement, the science and the possible fallacy of The Moon Landings.   Grigori 'more hirsute than a hair suit' Rasputin. A man described at the top of a standard Google search as simply 'Russian Peasant'.  A mystical Monk with a mystical funk, did he really stink of rotting food?   Then to space go we.  Tiny Russians sent into space to land on the moon?  The Moon! Ha! Imagine us ever landing there.  Nice try, Paul.   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears and play along!   Find the chaps on Twitter & Instagram - @liehardshow 

This week sees that Terminal-trapped Mermaid botherer Tom Hanks up against the spikes and sordidness of instruments of torture.    Hanks.  Nicest man in the world or a twinkling despot; hell-bent on the destruction of French architecture, Somalian sailors and Tim Allan.   Then we move on to torture!  But in a happy, fun kind of way.  Parrots in a box? Donkeys up the bottom.  Good, clean fun.   Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears.

This week sees peaceful, circus strongman-faced Mahatma Gandhi up against the whirring and whistling, soot and smog, and all round alliteration of The Industrial Revolution.   Gandhi. Salt-marcher, peaceful protester and Churchill-baiter.  But underneath that simple robe beat the heart of a London-chiselled lawyer who may, once, have served food to Adolf Hitler.   Then it's the Industrial Revolution that'll tar your inner ears.  Did Dickens really ply guttersnipes with alcohol for their stories?  Would you even say Dickens wrote during the Industrial Revolution?  Ask Paul! Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears. Find the chaps on Twitter & Instagram - @Liehardshow      

This week sees bearded death-dealer Chuck Norris single-handedly take on the might of The Aztec Empire.   Chuck Norris.  Cow stunner, snake biter and all round tough guy.  This dude will put a mullet in your gullet.   The Aztec though - big fans of the human sacrifice.  And chocolate.  And you know, don't we ALL know someone like that?   Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears.

This week sees waggly-hipped crooner Elvis Presley take on the might of the Soviet Space Programme.   Elvis Presley.  The King.  But what of? Rock and roll or trebuchet-obsessed unprofessionalism?   That's right folks.  That's what we're packing. He's up against those cheeky Cosmonauts.  Gagarin, Laika the dog and Sputnik.  Was it really as big as all that?   Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears.

This week sees your favourite fluffy yellow cartoon character taking on...Pokémon.   That's right, it's walking, witty disaster Winston Churchill; Chaplin's co-star and possessor of a veritable trove of top hats.   He's up against those pocket monsters (no euphemism) Pokémon.  Pikachu itself makes an appearance, as do a plethora of rejected characters and some GRIZZLY DEATHS!  CRIPES!   Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears.   Find the chaps on Twitter & Instagram - @Liehardshow

This week sees cuddly thunderthroat Luciano Pavarotti take on the grisly might of The Black Death.   Paul, respectfully hooded, stalks into your ears with stories of Shakespeare and the Pied Piper (who was PROBABLY a baddie).  Rick comes back at him with the English translation of Pavarotti and a smattering of Month Python.   Can you guess the cunning links?   A clean, safe for work British comedy podcast - give it a go on your ears.  Find the chaps on Twitter & Instagram - @Liehardshow

This week sees Genghis Khan take on that cautionary world of the Nursery Rhyme.   Paul brings his three facts & secret link about the Mongol Warlord - harvester of electricity, vegetarian cook book producer and character played by that famous look-a-like JOHN WAYNE.   Rick repels, on this light, safe for work entertainment podcast with 3 facts about Nursery Rhymes.  What IS a Humpty Dumpty? Why do the Macedonian hate Manchester and was it really Goosey Goosey Gandhi?   Coming straight outta Cardiff, Wales, come and give this comedy podcast a shot.

This week the two subjects are the oft-linked Disneyland and Charles Manson.   First up, Paul presents his three Disney-themed facts.  Nazis are mentioned more than you'd imagine, but then so are the dwarfs.  So it's on brand.   Repelling that assault of inaccuracies, Rick repels with 3 facts, on this light, safe for work entertainment podcast with 3 facts about world class Hollywood psychopath & cult leader Charles Manson.  Did he REALLY invent the space hopper?

Alas not the communist remake featuring Capitalist pig dogs as dementors. but rather the two subjects for this week's episode.   In no way cashing in on the impending release of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, we have three facts on that smug, rich four-eyed troll-botherer.   We follow this, comrade, with three facts about to that frostiest of battles, the Cold War.  Nope, not the good episode of the last season of Game of Thrones, but Russian and American spies chasing each other about and that.   A weekly clean comedy gameshow podcast.  Play with us comrade!  Or else dissipate.  Or Expelliarmus.  Or something

Ernest Hemingway.  The man.  They myth.  The bearded, sadistic bullfighter.  Proof that it's not only the nerds that write the books.  For Whom The Bell Tolls, Old Man and the Sea and The Importance of Being Ernest Hemingway fired from his pen like beer from a blunderbuss.   Then it's the Occult!  Ooga Booga!  Pentagrams! Ghosts! Witches!  Ouiji Boards!  The fact that The Rolling Stones are still gigging!  Is ANY of this stuff to be believed.  Think about it now.  No-one reads these bits though YOU are.  You think it was your choice.  Was it though?  Was it?  JEEPERSBUTLOOKBEHINDYOU!   OK - enough of that.  A weekly clean comedy gameshow podcast.  Play with us!  We DARE you mwahahahahaha.

Stonehenge.  It's the biggest henge we've seen.  Know you of any better henge?  No.  Didn't think so.  Stonehenge is the BEST henge.  Whether you're Indiana Jones or Rocky Cliffington McStonelover, we reckon you'll struggle to chisel this fact from the fiction.   Then, as if that ancient mystery isn't enough, how about a little dabble with grave robbing?  Often done in duos - who's the first one to bring the subject up - bit of a risk isn't it?  Ancient Egypt, Burke and Hare and the resurrection men.  There's a fact in there, but it'll take some digging!   Come and join us on this weekly comedy (clean) gameshow podcast.  You'll have a lovely old time.  

What have we here? It smells like a podcast. If it smells like one, it probably is! This week, Rick and Paul investigate facts about Lord Byron and his antics, but get all serious for The French Revolution. It's possible you won't learn the facts, but you're almost certainly going to learn a few juicy lies that you can waggle in your friends faces and confuse them for days. For free! A clean UK podcast, built on fibs and facts.

For this week's episode we scale the highest peak on planet earth. Paul's cranium? Close, it's Mount Everest. Bonus fact: nobody can decide on the height! We've also got some zany and possibly lethal wedding proposals, till death do us part? Probably won't take long at this rate! A safe for everyone comedy podcast gameshow production straight outta Cardiff, Wales. To be enjoyed by willing and friendly folk.

If you think there was anything civil about the civil war you'd be quite wrong. If you were alive in England in the 1600s you ran a real risk of losing your head! Are you Team Roundhead or Team Cavalier? Spoiler, you probably lose either way. But what about drummers? Bang bang tish bang, that's right, much nicer to be a drummer, especially if you like trains, sausages or turkey's. So whether you're into drummers or the civil war, we've got a safe for work friendly fun podcast just for you!  

Do you like explorers? Do you like food? Then boy oh boy do we have a show for you. We've got beavers, and we're not afraid to squeeze them. We've got food competitions and we don't shy away from ruining them. And we're not adverse to throwing a sheep or indeed many sheep down a hole to their certain doom. How about combining the two? Nibbling on ancient mammoth meat in a famous explorers club? You can have that too. You've explored a variety of podcasts at the comedy buffet, and now it's time to pull up a chair and enjoy this safe for work audible meal. Don't forget to tip! 

This week the Lie Hard guys take on the combined might of the Tudor dynasty and Walt Disney. Paul speaks of an illicit, illegal peek at a canary, Henry VIII on Tinder and the treasured hazelnut of Elizabeth I. Rick then steams in with the cryogenic freezing of the big man himself, Marilyn Manson lunching with Mickey Mouse and the secret stash of skulls in a famous ride. Play along at home as the two boys Lie Hard With A Vengeance. A clean comedy podcast.

This week sees heists pitted against the high seas. A cowboy disguised as money? A looting of gold from an airplane or the pant-based removal of the Crown Jewels? What precisely is the purpose of an orb? Then an aquatic riposte. A fabled bloop from the briney depths, a plethora of submerged diamonds or a deeper deep blue sea as yet untouched. Listen in and play along to this safe for work comedy podcast!

Remember cowboys? They were good weren't they? All that shooting and 'Yeeehawww'ing, thoroughly entertaining. Remember cats? Who could forget they're all furry and annoyed.  Some people said we couldn't do it; 'You can't release a comedy podcast episode that combines the wild west and historical cats!'. Turns out you can. Join us this week as we learn about space cats, singing cowboys and everything inbetween.

Who invented things? What were those things? Were they any good? What is a brain? Does everyone have one? Are they ever made of pasta? These are all questions we seek to answer on this week's episode, and if they can't be answered, you can bet your invention/brain that there will be some juicy tall tales to listen to regardless.  Play along, can you spot the truth hidden amongst the lies? It's the podcast game show that's sweeping the nation!

It's time for the Halloween special!

Oh gosh, it's got a bit dark hasn't it? Where are the fluffy bunnies and rainbows? Here's the thing: those placid subjects are absolute snore fests! You're here for something juicy! Sink your teeth into this delicious comedy podcast and taste eternal life!

Used to be that a Granny liked nothing better than a grisly tale of true crime; but it's a realm no longer reserved for the octagenerian. Why, even the boys are having a bash. So, this week it's true crime up against hoaxes. Conspiracies, lies and the Loch Ness Monster. Hoaxes? We would say that wouldn't we? A comedy podcast.

This week, Rick brings a little bit of Space the table.  Crop circles, little tiny lizard men and just how can TV cater for our alien chums?   Paul ripostes with some Victorian shenanigans.  A stolen Sphinx nose, a spot of taxidermy and poor Queen Victoria and her mourning/just black and white dress.   A comedy gameshow. Come play along.

This week, quiz hound Rick brings ‘wood’ to the table and information truffle-pig Paul responds with ‘pirates’.   Rick talks Pope-slaying trees, skin covered doors and Hindenburg-delivered prosthetics. Paul talks pirate double-agents and animal lovers of the piratical persuasion and wages a campaign for equal rights.  For pirates.     A clean, comedy quiz show.  Play along!
