This week, your favorite duo takes a totally respectful, borderline-offensive deep dive into the world of manners.We’re talking table etiquette, awkward handshakes, ghosting, loud chewing, and whether saying “bless you” is actually just passive aggression in disguise.

Expect questionable advice, rude awakenings, and a few personal confessions that Miss Manners would faint over. Are we evolving… or just getting better at being polite while still being terrible?

Needless to say, there are one or two tangents…

Back with a bang no less, as 2G1C returns for 2025 with an episode of quick fire reviews. 

Listen now to find out what topic was controversially canned live on the pod, but to give you a teaser, it was because it made us sound far too much like two middle aged men.

Cool, that should get the Gen Z’s listening in their droves

It’s buffets which come under the microscope this week. 

Thankfully not a literal microscope as the thought of what is actually on some buffet food makes our blood run cold. 

So sit back, relax, and best to avoid eating anything as we deep dive into buffets…

What f you’re thinking “nothing” then quite frankly you are wrong. 

If you’re want to be right, then join us in this week’s episode where you’ll soon realise the answer is that they both get the speed review treatment, along with four other entirely unrelated topics…

Tax fans will be disappointed to hear that we’re talking about the object that keeps you dry as opposed to navigating the complexities of IR35 HMRC legislation.

That said - and spoiler alert - traditional umbrellas are not popular in 2G1C Towers and get the kicking they deserve. And what does the future hold for umbrellas? Well, Joe gives us a bleak view of what awaits us as a civilisation which we should all hope is wrong. 

But probably won’t be. 

We finish off with our top five Simpsons characters and there are some big hitters in there, so unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 35 years you should be able to keep up. 

And if you are an under-a-rock-dweller then you’ve had a decent head start on the rest of us if Joe’s grim prediction for humankind in anything to go by…

We go light on facts - as per usual - with emphasis placed more on Halloween films and trick or treat etiquette.

That said, we have a lovely bit of knowledge about why women who floated in water were accused of being witches - spoiler alert, it was nothing h to do with weighing the same as a duck, despite what Monty Pythons taught us.

No, not the family dog or youngest child but rather the humble remote control.

Rippling biceps.

Managing to somehow save the day despite the odds being stacked against it.

Yes, that is just a typical day at 2G1C Towers, but it’s also the formula for this week’s listener suggestion - top 5 action heroes.

When you think about it, there are more than you may initially think and it’s fair to say we’ve not necessarily gone route one. In fact, there’s a very early surprising omission from the list…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Not sure it was Confucius who originally said that, but it’s profound nonetheless.

Toilets have already been selected by The Cup so that can only mean its chairs up for review this week.

We have all the usual history of, fun facts etc, but most remarkably we find out how much the most expensive chair ever was and it is - to put no finer point on it - absurd.

Gamesmaster.

FourFourTwo.

Arguably the holy trinity of toilet read magazines. 

For any youngsters reading, a magazine is/was basically a website on paper, with the added advantage, certainly in the case of FHM, of a foldy outy page with the vaguest hint of aftershave on it that you could rub on yourself and smell like lemon infused printed paper.

But as well as weak aftershave, the Cup offering up magazines as a topic reeks of nostalgia, so join 2G1C Pod on a whistle stop tour of the world of magazines…

Dirty Dancing.

28 Days Later.

Not the film playlist of the 2 Guys enjoying a film night together, but rather a selection immersive theatre experiences they have had. 

And what is immersive theatre, I hear you cry. 

Well, it’s theatre in which you become immersed. Think Secret Cinema or if you’re of a certain vintage, Alien War at the Trocadero in London (which incidentally cost £6.95 for an adult and £4.95 for a child).

Download the latest 2 Guys 1 Cup to find out the ups and downs of the aforementioned immersion and a bit of an update on the great Barbara v Hilary debate…

The usual pros and cons are covered but the real controversy lies in music choices.

Imagine the scenario: you’re in a huge rush to get somewhere and you need to make up time or you’ll be late. Which of these camps do you fall into…

A) Some loud and fast music playing to get the adrenaline going and help out your foot down

B) Something relaxing like Eternal Flame to calm everything down and help one make sensible driving decisions. 

Listen on to find out who chooses what as well as a swift answer to the age old question “have you ever been caught short whilst driving?”

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Animals feature prominently on the list as we attempt to go even five minutes without saying “it really tugs on the heartstrings.”

That said, a baby elephant with massive ears being rocked by its mother’s trunk really does tug at the heartstrings. 

So, (sniff) join us as we (sniff) go through our top five (sniff) and call out ET for not being sad in the slightest.

On Team Ying it’s exciting rides, a fun environment and the feeling like nothing in the outside world matters for a while. 

Team Yang however includes throwing up, queuing two hours for a one minute ride and incredible expense.

Requested by Cupper @KoblersM

Yes, it’s theme parks, and in the style of a footballer unnecessarily pluralising nouns, it’s your Disneys, your Thorpe Parks, your Legolands etc. 

Buckle up, make sure the bar is raised and keep your arms and legs in the pod at all times. 

Sorry, that sounded good at first but actually made no sense in the end.

All is quiet. The steady breathing of five or six of your close friends echoes around the room. 

You’ve done it.

You’re the last one awake at the sleepover.

As a youngster this was very much a badge of honour, now… not so much. 

But before all the staying up, lots more happens at sleepovers including - but not limited to - midnight feasts, drinking wake up juice (get your mind out of the gutter) and if you’re one of Joe’s friends, watching a mucky film your parents have remarkably agreed to rent from Blockbusters. 

Evidence if it were needed that the Cup really does give us some left field suggestions as this week it’s the turn of sleepovers.

No?

Well you’ll find this week’s pod an education. 

More than just how to eat your cereal - that’s been covered just up there - but some other nuggets such as a look back at some of the toys given away in cereal packets of yesteryear and what connects the Jackson 5 with a packet of cereal?

So grab yourself a bowl, spoon, some milk and 30g* of your favourite cereal and listen on…

* let’s be honest, you’ll want to at least double that

It’s a chant no one - aside from those chanting it - wants to hear. 

Like meerkats in the Kalahari Desert or a lighthouse beaming its torch at night, it works as a warning. 

Stay ye away all who approach, as these are a group of drunk idiots.

But don’t stay away from the pod as we deep dive into all thing stag do related whilst dressed up as Snow White and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Says it all really. 

Summer holidays are up for review this week, thanks to Cupper @koblersM on X, which make Joe and Dan wish they were kids again. 

Not just for the freedom but for reasons which will become clear in the pod, it’s basically like being a celebrity but without the paparazzi.

To summarise: whilst being an adult has its positives - such as being able to upgrade to a large McDonald’s meal and not need to worry about the financial implications - it’s much better not being an adult.

Right, blurb over, enjoy the pod, got to be up early for work in the morning…

From the Red Lion (everywhere) to My Father’s Moustache (Lincolnshire), not much beats a nice pint in a nice pub. 

Or does it?

We delve into the sometimes murky world of UK pubs to debate whether or not the smoking ban is a good thing, which is the best known fictional pub and how Joe is pretty much the same as Leonardo Di Caprio…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Of course you do. 

In 2000 they took to the stage to open the Reading Festival. 

“Ooh stick you, yo momma too…”

But rather than the response of “and you daddy!” that they hoped for to their call, they were pelted by bottles full of warm p***.

Enough of the positives of music festivals though, we also talk about the negatives - largely toilet focused - as the Cup chooses a suggestion by Cupper @sdfifer. 

So get your bucket hat out, anti bacterial wipes at the ready and pop up tent popped up as we review music festivals…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Talk of flame grilled steaks and other meat whilst podding on empty stomachs mean that - spoiler alert - BBQs score very well.

If you’re hoping to find out what the vegan option is then you may be a little disappointed…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Incredibly expensive Toblerone.

If you go to the right place, a nine hole golf course.

Airports have flown out of the Cup this week and it’s a mixed bag. Tales of anxiety and boredom coupled with some hot chat about nougat and the influence of Big Signage on smoking areas dominate this week’s pod.

But how many Cups will airports score?

There’s only one way to find out…

Go on, have a think.

Yes that’s right - a stand up comedian!

This week one of our beloved Cuppers has requested our top 5 British stand up comedians.

Will Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson and Roy Chubby Brown make the list? *

Listen on to find out!

* of course not

With Thanks to Cupper @sdfifer for this weeks topic

Frustrating audio problems.

A unnecessarily long, drawn out scoring process.

No, not a standard 2G1C pod, but Eurovision!

The Cup has a funny knack of throwing out topical review subjects and this week is no exception. Joe pops on his lederhosen, Dan dresses up as a Nordic zombie Viking and then they both realise how fortunate their standard pod record outfits match the theme of Eurovision this week…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you’re expecting it to get a 10 Cup rating then you’d be wrong…

Not only that, but we also take a look at the top 10 games consoles of all time with some big hitters not making the top 10.

BUT WHICH ONES?!?!?!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We have an interview with the Intstagrammer @thestringqueen

She talks all about how she got involved in the social media world and about her projects she has been working on

Of course we have a review and this week it is concerts

No Dan this week either so I guess It's One Guy One Gal and a cup full of urine but more about that in the pod

Like a wrestling show, it’s very much the main event.

We reveal the remainder of our top 5 wrestlers ever (fans of grainy, bleak 1980s British wrestling are in for a treat), and go on a number of tangents including puppies, ladders and a lady of pensionable age giving birth to a glove. 

Yes, a glove.

Oh.

It’s good to get ahead of the pedants though, but I’m relieved to say much of the review does centre around standard weekend activities such as Saturday afternoon Grandstand, the Sunday Night Fear and Going Live.

With us recording on 1st April, we finish with a review of pranks which - spoiler alert - don’t score well unless it’s the pranked getting a lasting from the prankee…

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Listeners will be treated to two of the most revolting train based anecdotes ever heard, a reassuring tale about Bobby Holness being a nice man and what staff Joe would employ if he was a billionaire.

For dessert we finish with a top 10 which quite frankly will take some beating in terms of quality, and not just because friend of the pod Harrison Ford features in 60% of the entrants. 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Man?

Mario?

Bowl?

If you’ve said yes to any of the above then you’re wrong. If you’ve screamed ‘markets’ to high heaven then congratulations, you’re correct. 

Like going shopping when hungry isn’t a great idea, we can only assume The Cup was peckish when it popped out this week’s topic. 

Feels like we should have a supermarket related pun here but not sure what works, to be honest. 

Clean up on aisle 10?

Actually, that’s pretty relevant for one of the particular gripes we score them down on.

Wasn’t even a pun, either.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In a bid to tempt fate, Joe attended the ceremony already dressed as MJ from the Bad video (as he confesses in the pod he did at the age of 10) though Dan was evidently less successful in his attempt to influence the Cup by dressing as his favourite type of vegetable.

So with a very competitive top five to get through, we fired up the Youtubes for what can only be described as mostly extremely long and unreservedly bonkers videos from the Jackson back catalogue.

How much did Vincent Price make from his non-rhyming voice over in Thriller?

Why does a “pool table” have no pockets in Beat It?

Who was originally supposed to be the recipient of the line “your butt is mine” in Bad before Wesley Snipes.

When it’s kind of mixed in to a sequel. 

Like The Godfather Part 2.

But what other films deserve the more traditional prequel treatment?

Well, the Cup this week has given the 2 Guys a challenge of giving their top 5 films ripe for prequels.

It’s fair to say that one of them goes down a much darker path of cinematic choices than the other, but fear not - the prequel ideas are based (mostly) on ‘official’ back stories rather than their own concoctions.

So sit back (unless you’re on the bus or train commenting), relax (again, unless you’re on the bus of train commuting) and enjoy two grown men doing a top 5 and clearly not being able to count to 5.

It has blessed us with the review topic of The Films Of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Like kids in a candy shop, pigs in effluence or two middle aged men on a podcast, we’re giddy with excitement as we venture into timeless classics such as The Terminator, Terminator 2, Predator and Jingle All the Way. 

We finish with an all time great top 10, somehow managing to shoehorn Taylor Swift into a chart featuring the The Shamen and PM Dawn, and not just so we can use #TaylorSwift.

And this time Lego has emerged from our cup and slid under the microscope of the two Guys’ gaze.

Which is the worst Lego set ever? How on earth can a set be worth $200,000? And why are big boxes of Lego so filthy?

We have a tribute to Carl Weathers, a hero of the pod from his roles in Rocky and Predator and inductee into the International Moustache Hall of Fame in 2016. 

We finish on a general discussion about favourite school subjects, a suggestion given to us on X by @jamiesinai. 

We won’t pretend our school dissection is in any way structured, disappointing given one of the presenters gushing over his love of English, but suffice to say there are some things mentioned that would be unlikely to happen in school nowadays…

The best bicep shot in film

Of course, we have some petrol station fact checking from last week’s show.

This week we review cinemas - are they actually any good or did they used to be better? Does excellent sound quality make up for people rustling their sweet wrappers? How many cups will they score?

We also give you our top 5 film theme tunes. Will Robocop or The Shining make it into our hall of fame? (spoiler: both do, but what else will?)
