In Episode 8 of The John Hastings Larry Dean Show, the boys go from Edinburgh Fringe sensitivities to World War I Canadian war crimes to full‑blown psycho exes, without ever touching the brakes.

In this episode:

• Larry’s first week of the new Edinburgh show and why audiences now worry about comics’ self‑deprecating jokes more than the comics do
• Australian festival crowds who demand a sexuality disclaimer before every punchline
• How English people think every country is just “their mate Craig” and why Scotland weirdly loves Canada
• Psycho Canadians in wartime:
• The trench “food then grenades” story
• Juno Beach, D‑Day, and why Canada went early and ruined it for everyone else
• Petty national pride: did Scotland or Canada invent the telephone, and can Larry’s exes claim his award nominations?
• Breakup body maths:
• Why Larry loses weight and his exes gain it
• John’s theory that if nothing changes after a breakup, you’re probably a murderer
• The “astronaut training for escape” rule: getting hot right before you leave someone
• John’s divorce montage: quitting smoking, juice cleanses, obsessive squats and screaming matches taken in the Comedy Store car park between spots for OnlyFans models
• Psycho ex paranoia:
• Larry’s “I didn’t hire a window cleaner” moments
• John’s coke‑fuelled married stalker who hacked his email, turned up at 5 a.m., then followed him round London gigs for months
• Why effort isn’t love, why some of your ex’s friends secretly agree with you, and how John and his current wife refuse to get on the argument roller coaster at all

Plus: autism “diagnosed” via T‑shirts, emotional manipulation in relationships, and Larry trying to trap John into admitting he’s always right in his marriage.

Two nervous boys, one chaotic podcast. In Episode 7 of The John and Larry Dean Show, John Hastings and Larry Dean spiral from housing crises to breathalyzer hacks with absolutely no segue and even less legal advice.

In this episode they cover:

• John declaring war on two of the nicest men in comedy, Justin Morehouse and Alun Cochrane
• Manchester and Stockport rent chat: “New Berlin”, single‑glazed windows and landlords who control your heating by phone
• Larry’s wardrobe regression: Space Jam T‑shirt, dungarees and dressing like an 11‑year‑old to cope with big life changes
• Vaping vs smoking, Invisalign, dental bonding and the absolute freaks who chew their keys
• Urban myths on beating breathalyzers: coins, peanut butter, sharp breaths and snapping the nozzle off (do not try this, obviously)
• Dyspraxia, driving tests, and why John probably shouldn’t be allowed behind the wheel
• North vs South (and the Midlands) audiences, local “celebrities”, Susan Boyle, gay culture and why gay men keep divas immortal
• Planning Larry’s LA honeymoon: Koreatown vs Los Feliz vs West Hollywood, and why John refuses to take a train and a bus

Plus: call‑centre Scots, masculinity voices, climate change in two months of UK weather, and whether people try to be more “butch” around Larry.
