Join Rich and George as they meander through the issues plaguing humanity since the dawn of time. From New Year disappointment to feline defecation, these gentlemen strive to determine within 15 minutes whether the world requires simple fine tuning or the complete 'restore default factory settings'…
It's apparently a common practice for corpses in morgues to have certain tendons cut, this prevents them from contracting and pulling the corpse into an upright position. Corpses also have been known throughout history to groan as the decomposition gases escape the body through the voice box. This is the best description of this latest episode, our long since dead podcast has sat bolt upright as the gaseous fumes and bile escapes our bodies in one final hurrah. The recording quality has improved and we're two years older and wiser, but that's about it.
Tattoos last for ever, judging by this drunken ramble, we might not.
In everyday life we pander to the lowest common denominator. they drag us down to their level. If a major broadcaster had the option of televising extended coverage of 'Britain's Got Talent' or Series 1-4 of the West Wing, Simon Cowell's shitfest would win every time. It's time to redress the balance. Although admittedly listening to this very pissed episode is not the best place to start.
The dangers of what can happen when large chocolate making corporations decide to become heroes to the masses of pig shit thick idiots that roam our planet. You know the ones, the stupid idiots regularly caught giggling at internet based captioned photos of cats. The people stood on street corners loudly discussing the intricacies of the current series of X Factor and looking forward to the next episode of 'celebs' 'roughing' it in the jungle. The sort of people who 'make a stand against cancer' not by donating bone marrow or money to cancer support charities, no, they post a picture on their Facebook profile, a picture made up of text that accuses 90% of people to not care enough to do so. Sorry this is becoming a rant. Also, apologies for the sound quality which dips a little temporarily halfway through. Bloody technology eh?
I'm sure everyone has pissing stories, it's just we're the only ones willing to share. Maybe Rich shouldn't have.
Welcome to the MUCH AWAITED first episode of Series 9. You have been excited as so have we, however I have to admit, we started Series 9 pissed and just got worse as the episodes go on. Still, we're here now so you may as well have a darn good listen.
The Hiatus is taking it's own 1 week/ 15 minutes Hiatus. We are back for a one-off special. Recorded live at a mate's wedding, this is a little treat for both our fans. Topics include, weddings, stag strip clubs, broadswords, and teen street patois. Rich also gets 'aggressive aggressive' about 'passive aggressive'. Let us know what you think, but lets face it, 'probs blates be rubs'. Tweet us with either the hashtag #TweakTweets or Rich's new idea #TwatGeorge.
Hello all, we think the podcast has been getting a little lax since we started doing them on Skype. It was the only way to keep them going due to logistical issues finding time to meet up, especially now Rich has more of a social life. Recording the podcasts live and in the same room has more energy, more 'je ne sais quoi', more laughs, for you and for us. So it would be better to record them in batches like we used to and release them when we have them rather than slavishly record lesser quality podcasts in order to hit a deadline. We needed a live episode, one which would see us go out on a bang, one set in a German bar in Munich during a Stag Do, yes, that would do nicely. Enjoy. The twitter feed will continue in it's haphazard approach, the website will be brought up to date and the android app too. There is even another single in the pipeline! Thank you so much for listening to us thus far. There will be more. So until next Podcast Wednesday (hopefully not too far away) That's it for now..... we'll think of some more.
So we missed last Wednesday, bringing the podcast out on Friday from a campsite's poor wifi connection. Well this week to make up for it, despite the French travel nightmares detailed in the podcast this was recorded in a shitty french hotel car park and put up on the interwebs earlier than normal. Zut alors!
Well finally we missed a Wednesday, but not a week. Due to a broken clutch on a campsite in France with limited Internet connection and the issues of facing a 1000Euro bill, I'll admit, my standards slipped. Sorry. Nevertheless here is a recording of Rich talking to a very optimistic, excited George.
Had a good run? Good, keep it to yourself next time. Playing a game on Facebook? Good, keep it to yourself next time. Bringing out a pointless podcast? Well.... that's different, that's acceptable.
At last, after months of negotiations we have managed to secure the rights to the official podcast outlining Rich and George's thoughts on the British & Irish Lions Tour of Australia. Find out exactly what (probably) happened when Kurtley Beale attempted that final kick in our World Exclusive, hear the carnage and personal tragedy that a drunk George caused 4 years ago during the last lions tour. Also discover how many downloads of their single 'A Nice Day' were purchased. Wow this episode is packed with content, stop reading this and get listening.
Here, you go an in-depth look at everything to do with theme parks, once we get around to it.
What to do with Jeremy Kyle and people who are allergic to nuts? Find out here.
Welcome to our 15 Minutes of Shame, this time we get on to the actual topic about 14 minutes in.
Welcome to our new series! Welcome to old friends and new listeners alike. We began this episode with the intention of talking about gyms, but got sidetracked. Also Series 7 sees the beginning of our new regular feature 'Taking the Piers'. Enjoy!
Ever had a disappointing steak? This is probably the podcast for you.
Hi folks, what things do you like feeling? What things do you not like feeling? Tom Day sent us a Tweak Tweet suggesting a topic, many thanks to him, join him by tweeting ideas to us on @richandgeorge15
Sadly, our schedules didn't allow for a recording this week, (I say 'our schedules', Rich was too busy being the 'Bertie Big Bollocks' and travelling with work.) But in order that you're not left podcastless, please enjoy the classic 'Bum You In the Mouth' by Rich and Dom (with some backing vocals from Ed Whelband), several years ago. Normal service will resume soon.
A veritable cornucopia of podcast flavours for your delectation this week. Don't forget to send your tweak tweets to @richandgeorge15
Good smells, bad smells, says it all really. Get your smelling gear round this one. Aroma podcasts don't exist yet maybe we'll release this one again in the future with a scratch and sniff card to match. Enjoy
This week we messed up a little, so you've got a special video instead. Please note, this isn't our single 'A Nice Day' which is still available on iTunes and Amazon! Get over there now, well after you've watched this!
Post Easter blues I guess, dunno if I can even be bothered to writ.........
Drinking on a school night? It can be done although it probably won't help you in your career progression. Rich and George discuss various tales of drunken derring do.
You have Cancer in Uranus, or something like that, welcome to the Astrology episode of our podcast.... but wait! have you bought our song yet, get onto iTunes or Amazon and get buying 'A Nice Day' by Rich and George. Otherwise we'll never get to the Easter Number 1 slot. The stars are looking very good for you, you'll buy this song and see prosperity!
With the Conclave still burning black smoke, what better time to discuss the sexual peccadilloes of the potential head of the Catholic Church? Does he (and we're assuming it's going to be a 'he') get to sleep with whoever he wants? Will he get chosen in a reality TV style format? It's all in here, including whether Morrissey would be happier if he wasn't celibate.
Hello there, as a thank you to our loyal listeners for getting us to 10,000 downloads, we invited 200 of our most loyal and favourite fans to a special live recording. Apologies if you didn't make the cut. Due to the acoustics in the live venue, the recording isn't quite as perfect as normal and for this we apologise again. Normal service will resume next week. Enjoy.
Have you ever been told off for playing on the internet at work? Just tell your boss that you're on LinkedIn, that seems acceptable. LinkedIn is very unpopular on this podcast though. If you love LinkedIn, probably best not listen.
Wowzers! How the bloody hell did we get to our 6th series? We're nearly on 10,000 downloads too. Are you all mental? It's not our birthday but tomorrow it's George's birthday so you all get to hear what we think of that special day that comes only once a year. Toodlepip mp3 consumers.
Sometimes people who live in exile can just be a pain, I mean, why leave in the first place? Rich and George discuss.
This week, we take a look at nice foreign holidays that sometimes masquerade as charity work. No wonder Smashy and Nicey didn't want to talk about it.
None of them will hear this, so we're not causing any offence at all. Old people fear technology the same as they fear hoodies hanging around your local newsagents after dark. If any old people do hear this, please tweet us on @richandgeorge15 or send a telegram.
Facebook was designed for the very few people selected to go to Harvard. If you are not as clever as one of those elite few (I'm not for a minute suggesting I am) then you have no right to an account. Facebook gets ruined by stupidity, the sort of stupidity demonstrated on an hourly basis by people in your news feed. Maybe you get drawn into arguments with people you've never met, maybe you agree to donate a 'Like' to someone daft enough to base their decision on whether they bring their offspring into the world on the basis that some strangers gave them a million 'likes', maybe you're a teenager who treats 'likes' of your profile picture as some sort of pointless currency amongst your circle of equally confused friends. Chances are you update your status to tell us all your 'feelings' please don't for a minute think we give a shit, worse you are the sort of utter waste of skin who clicks 'Like' when you hear a good friend has been burgled... and this reader, is where our prologue endeth.
Sometimes you just need to do what you are told, sometimes you need to avoid problems by keeping schtum. It's difficult when you have your own podcast though. Cheers folks, don't forget to help George by sending your answer at the end.
Old age, 'It happens to the best of us', which is a strange comment given that it flies in the face of it's equally famous age related comment, 'Only the good die young'. Seeing as Freddie Mercury & Queen wrote a song about the 'good dying young' then we must surely agree with that. (Unless Freddie was simply trying to pre-empt obituary writers into deciding whether he had 'good AIDS' or 'bad AIDS). Anyone out there who cannot remember Freddie Mercury or football before Ryan Giggs probably doesn't need to listen to this, unless you want a warning about what old age is like. In this episode George 33 and Rich 33 (at time of recording) discuss how life has changed in their dotage. To be honest, as ridiculous as that sounds, throughout history, 33 has been a very old age. Anyone older than 33 (including Rich since his birthday) is an abomination and a complete insult to Darwinism. Consider yourself on Mother Nature's hit list. You're going down, soon probably being stabbed to death after being chased down the street by hooded chavs, angry at your avoidance of death by Sabre tooth tiger or being taken as a human sacrifice to a deity. Have a good week.
Incase you hadn't heard, the rules for car parks have changed in 2013, with pretty drastic consequences for those who don't adhere to them. Quick, listen to this podcast and make sure you don't miss out!
So here we are, Boxing Day, tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary since Rich and George sat in front of a laptop and spewed their thoughts into a microphone. That pooled vomit of weak jokes and heavy vitriol ran down the jeans and into the shoes of the nation, capturing society's mood and reflecting it back into its face, showing it how haggard and tired it was before its inevitable collapse in on itself. We cheered up post-Olympics and now happily address all issues with only a rare delve back into the depths of misery. I'll be honest I don't even know who reads these descriptions. Tweet me if you do! @richandgeorge15. For this episode we asked our listeners to donate ideas and questions. Here they are. Seasons Greetings
Merry Christmas to you all, here is a pressie that you can't shred. Thank you for supporting us for the past year. At time of writing we are just over 7,500 downloads. We never imagined this when we started. Many thanks and have a very Happy New Year. Usual Wednesday Podacst to follow on Boxing Day.
Have you ever had a nice gesture thrown back in your face, some people did in the making of this episode. Are we proud? No, but action had to be taken. Welcome to Christmas Cards II: This Time It's Personal (and pretty close to home!) Next time we see you will be on Boxing Day, but subscribers can download the Christmas special gift video which will be available on Christmas Eve. Season's greetings folks! p.s. This is our 52nd episode, that's a full year! Thanks for sticking with us!
There comes a time in the life of every braggard when he gets his come uppance. This week George attempts to test Rich on what he's boasted about before, but not until we answer some questions sent through by one of our listeners. Enjoy.
Well 50 years ago this week, people were still watching the first ever Bond film (They used to take ages going round the country in those days), talking about the new group called the Rolling Stones and arguing over whether they would last longer than the also new Beatles. It was an exciting time of cultural innovation that saw the beginnings of a British global pop culture invasion. What many people don't realise is that also 50 years ago this week, Rich and George went to Bletchley park to record and release their first podcast. A computer the size of a house clicked and whirred for 72 hours before finally uploading our ramblings to the proto internet, (a man running to an equally massive computer with an enormous reel to reel tape). From such humble beginnings we've grown over 5 decades and today present you you our 50th anniversary edition! Enjoy. p.s. On a serious note we enjoyed our 7,000th download this week, thank you all.
Welcome to the first Episode of Series 5! We've kept you guessing for 7 days about how the cliffhangers from last week would pan out. Who shot George? Was Rich pregnant by George's hand or someone elses? Did Heston Blumenthal really manage to convince Channel 4 to let him make a TV show in which he gets away with making the most basic of foodstuffs under the pretence that he makes enormous portions? All will be revealed, just click play on your mp3 software of choice and find out! This week we also discuss the sexual urges of Tom Hanks and discuss ideas for Advertising executives. Enjoy!
So series 4 comes to an end with a bout of name calling. Tossers! What did you think of the John Terry racism scandal? Join the debate by tweeting us @richandgeorge15. Or you can email your complaints to info@richandgeorge.com
Early adopters are good and bad for society. On the one hand they keep prices of new technology unrealistically high by being willing to stand in a long queue to pay over the odds for a new phone or computer that in 6 months will cost half the amount. On the other hand they provide us with huge opportunities to laugh, who can forget the HD DVD debacle, where a bunch of early adopters bought their expensive new DVD players only to have them discontinued in favour of Blu-ray. The same people have spent twice as much money on Plasma screens, LCD TVs, laptops and multiple iPhones and iPads compared to the average person who waits 6 months more and gets them on special offer. The early adopter is never satisfied, the early adopter feels he's winning, but in fact is losing. Eager to put the boot in further we examine this strange product of evolution.
This summer saw the paparazzi take plenty of pictures of two reasons why the Great British Public can be rightly proud.... the London Olympics and the Queen's 60th Jubilee. In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of having a princess who bares all to sell magazines in France.
Something weird is afoot at Rich and George Towers.
People have criticised us for not keeping the podcast to 15 minutes and for going over the prescribed length. We decided that length wasn't important, rather what we did with it. So here we go, the most revealing, outrageous podcast we have done, complete with audible full frontal nudity and links to the internet where you can (should you choose) watch the video in full.
In 2011 we began podcasting with the promise that it would just be two men getting pissed, talking to a microphone. This week's podcast is probably the most pissed yet. We discuss what is a real sport, and whether George's 'TriBall' could ever get off the ground. This week also marks the last in a series of 3 episodes created from audience suggestions. Get your ideas through to info@richandgeorge.com Enjoy.
Like a new brand of flour, Gay Pride is something that is common place these days, but it wasn't always so. Rich and George look at the world of homosexuality, 1 in 5 downloaders will get the full unedited version where we actually try it for ourselves. Good luck!
