Christmas Y-Fronts

Wed, 23 Dec 2020 00:03:17 GMT

The boys are back home for Christmas and they're reunited face to face, albeit two metres apart, on a bench, in the pouring rain. Ben and Josh discuss all the big topics around Christmas, from your mum buying you new pants to a Christmas film Ben quite openly describes as a "heap of s**t". There's also another disaster story from Ben, this time from New Years Eve 2019, and they're getting into the festive spirit with a little Christmas sing song, all whilst quite literally soaking in the sights of their local childhood home.

Summer Of Love

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 00:05:56 GMT

As they find themselves in the midst of wintery December, the boys turn their attention to the summer of 2016 or as Ben calls it 'The Summer Of Love' in his story from his Diaries Of A Leaf Blower. There's another PMQs as Josh shares a particularly irate voice note from his Dad and the boys rip apart another invention in their new segment 'Good Intentions, Bad Inventions'. This one is truly awful.

Tinned Mackerel

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:05:21 GMT

The boys are back but things are very much still the same. Ben is still living with his parents and Josh's Dad is still nattering into a voice recorder but there's plenty of other things they're rambling on about. Flat share scares, mad invention ideas and dodgy activities to get through the boredom of lockdown. The pair are still very much stuck in the void between childhood and adulthood. Back every other Wednesday and if you're a fan please share with any other fellow Middlehooders!
