Mauricio brings his work-in-progress stand-up bit about skateboarders to the table, inspired by Barcelona's crackdown on skaters at the MACBA museum. The crew workshopping the material live, debating whether to double down on the hate or keep walking it back, and riffing on everything from Karen vigilantes to the philosophical difference between "true hate" and "real hate." It gets dark, it gets funny, and somehow ends with a bus, a body, and a very specific kind of joy.

So now the question is:
are these bits… or career-ending decisions?

Tell us what we should try and what should absolutely never leave this podcast.

Colman, Mauricio and Chris try to make sense of the US/Iran crisis and end up questioning everything from Trump's toxic ex energy to why MAGA only cares about war when gas prices go up.
A conversation about living in a world with no good guys left, no heroes worth following, and potholes that still haven't been fixed.
Funny, honest, and occasionally a little dangerous.

Things are going off the rails!

Trump pursuing a career in stand-up, and Chris feels sorry for him.
Colman mourns the death of fellow buff dude and ginger Chuck Norris.
Mauricio is deconstructing and reverse-engineering the Man-O-sphere!

So now the question is:
are these bits… or career-ending decisions?

Things were already getting weird.

We had “R*pe the Monkey”, “Adolf Trump”… and then Colman casually hit us with this gem:

“I used to castrate cows.”

It's hard to move on from that!!

In this week's current affairs episode we’re reviewing a couple of bits we took to the stage — Mauricio defending the bold position that earthquakes might actually be the best natural disaster, and my set about the bizarre Olympic helmet ban.

Meanwhile Colman has been off being productive and winning a TV pitch, but still found time to explain (with great enthusiasm) why The Traitors is the greatest show ever made.

Watch the sets, see what worked, what didn’t, and let us know what you think — your comments genuinely help us shape the material.

Hey, Colman here, so this episode was recorded with all of us in the same space which was nice. We covered a few current affairs topics, with Mauricio throwing a few digs at Chris along the way.

No, this is not about anti immigration policies; its about the Winter Olympics.

Hey guys, Mauricio here. Hope you’re all good. In this episode, we delve into some recent current affairs sets and try to poke some fun at the Winter Olympics, the Mattel representation initiative, and… once again, scratching cows.

Hello, Mauricio here, proving I can also be original.

The following is a video that makes much more sense once you accept that we’re still figuring things out.

It’s a conversation from a public episode with some questionable ideas that won’t let us go. In this one, Colman brings up the new autistic Barbie. Chris talks about Verónica, a cow who may or may not be smarter than him. And I read a text about the origins of the Interior Designer, which somehow felt relevant at some point.

Of course these aren’t finished bits, just exercises to keep the comedy muscle busy, and hopefully you entertained. Were barbies thinner before, as Chris assures? Straight (mostly) men can’t do a stereotypically gay voice anymore? Are cows finally ready to rebel? Do any of these ideas matters? We will find out when we circle back to them in front of an audience.

Nothing here has been cleaned up or streamlined. No edits to make us sharper. No highlights to suggest we knew where we were going. This is just the conversation as it happened, including the confusion, the wrong turns, and the moments that only work because everyone in the room agreed to keep going anyway.

Thanks for being here.
