WHY DO UK SUPERMARKETS HAVE CLOCK TOWERS BY CHRIS SPARGO: REVIEWED!

Well hello there podcast listener. The story of our journey to become YouTubers (???) starts in 2023. We were post-covid and had chatted about starting a podcast for years. Two middle aged dudes (excuse me?) talking to each other and just sending their chats out there into the ether on a consistently (RIP week 2) weekly basis for years and years, at this point. If you think about it, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s clearly not serving any functional purpose. So why do so many podcasts in the UK have one of these (*points at co-host) and have you ever actually asked yourself … what’s all that about?

Anyway, how are you today? What kind of day has it been? And how did you feel about the thirty second game not featuring in the cold open? We certainly weren’t sure. Or Jeffrey claiming back the rights to the “let’s start the show” this week. Christopher has threatened to wrest the reigns back and reclaim the “let’s start the show” revolution for his own purposes next week. The suspense is thrilling, if not barely worth a mention. But hey, we chatted about it. So you have to hear about it. And we got to a thirty second game eventually!

Real talk though, what are your thoughts on cold opens? 2 and a half minutes to 3 minutes is the window, no? But yeah, why are we talking about literally the most trivial matters possible in this week’s show notes? Well let’s just say that we (much like the YouTube algorithm) have been Chris Spargo pilled. Let the rest of the shownotes show this, for the record, by simply being a series of relevant YouTube titles with their associated links without any further commentary. Enjoy.

Special FAVE MOMENT FROM THE POD RECORD note for VIP read-the-whole-show-notes-members only: Christopher’s story about his name being referenced in a social media post. That shit was crazy. Did you guys hear that? I am still processing all that. Also Christopher had to choose between three pitches this week based on run times alone. That was some fun further gamification of the … games we play. Here are the three run times he chose between:

1 hour 28 minutes

2 hours 22 minutes

3 hours 30 minutes

Wild. Ok so how do we end these shownotes? Grabbing our crisps and dropping some and looking around a bit? Hey who cares about endings, who here needs a beginning, middle and end when you can just spam MIDDLE energy? Look ma, I’m MIDMAXXING.
