Two Icelandic geneticists and a Scottish doctor discuss the real intricacies of life, far outside their respective fields of expertise.
S2 Ep 9. The 53 Senses
Today we are feeling sensitive, sensual, non-sensical, but we may be liable to peddle some nonsense. But among the nonsense there shall be nuggets of wisdom! Wisdom such as otolaryngology, noise canceling headphones, pheromones, transhumanism, Parkinson's disease, self-experimentation, and even the two sisters that are human gestation and human extinction. Whatever you're looking for, you're sure to find in this episode.

S2 Ep 8. Walt Disney’s Deal or No Deal: Marvel Edition Monopoly (with Bjarki)
In today's rudely interrupted call, we innovate! Like the champions of human endeavour we are! We ride this high into the lands of financial independence in return for strange deals, je ne sais quoi, losing your honor, rooster attacks, immortality, and the least attractive job. A splendid second act sees us discuss class traitors, psychopathy tests, ethically sourced meat, and the nature of the taint. We stick the landing with a slow-burn of a recipe. A solid 10/10 episode.

S2 Ep 7. The super-ex’s father always packs heat (with Matt Kanaly)
Today we are joined by Executive Assistant Matt Kanaly. We make use of this unique opportunity to discuss butlering, the cost of flourine, the Reptilian Bloodline, Evangelical Presbyterians, Super Exes, Donald Trump, the Gulf Stream, bass players, bald men, hot or not, corn cob bowls, and the unfortunate facts of life brought to light by early-stage online dating. We also present MULTIPLE skills, believe it or not! All in all it's a a hell of an episode, which should come as no surprise if you see how damn long it is.

S2 Ep 6. Robot Prejudice
Today we switch it up! Who calls whom?!?! Find out by listening! And to sweeten the deal: by listening, you will also find out about testosterone, human trafficking, crime-calling the president, world peace through hate, robot prejudice, the principal components of humanity, childhood wishes, and how functionally nobody exists. We also introduce a new breakthrough neurosurgery that lets you shoot yourself in the head. Literally. For the metaphor. But only once. Like haemophilia B. Right? Right.

S2 Ep 5. At The Movies
This episode was probably mainly about things we hate. Or maybe that's just every episode. Notably, we show Dave Bautista, Adam Sandler, Vin Diesel, The Rock, Hayden Christensen, Andrew Tate, and others the amount of respect we feel they and their work deserve. From there we segue naturally into the history of idiots, morons, and imbeciles. We also dive a little bit into Guðjón's online arguments before rounding it out with another skill that isn't really a skill but more of a tip. Oh well. At least we're not a Dave fucking Bautista movie.

S2 Ep 4. Golden Ages (with Bjarki)
In today's typically high-brow episode of Calling-Munro-sans-Munro we're joined by famed friend of Conan O'Brien and Dungeons & Demons, Inc. legend Bjarki. This master conversationalist expertly guides us through an enchanting maze of topics that include MILF Manor, pasta quizzes, golden ages, the Premier League footballer disease severity index, breasts, testicles, conspiracies, and a slew of others. To top it all off, he even provides a bona fide money saving skill of the week! What more could you possibly ask for, you ungrateful swine. Get to listening.

S2 Ep 3. Snortin’ Beef
This episode is pure content, if we're being frank. Pure praxis. It includes the recounting of an enthralling washing machine odyssey with its numerous and nail-biting twists and turns, gut-wrenching highs and lows, honest truths, and calming wisdoms. The segue into hardware stores is inevitable but flawlessly executed. We also dabble in virology, canine dental theory, brick and door eating, and other things beyond our abilities to meaningfully discuss, but with blissful disregard for that reality.

S2 Ep 2. Upfuckitude
Hello boys and girls, today's episode is jam-packed with goodness. Once again we're joined by Óli in Munro's absence, and nothing could make us happier. As this newfound fearsome threesome we discuss the great nation of Liberia, the -dle library of games, twins, fucking up your children, divorce, and chatGPT. We also develop some exciting plans to dive deep into finding out what is truly the most awesome thing in the world. Stay tuned!

S2 Ep 1. Death, Religion, and the Hivemind
We're back.... albeit Munroless. But boyyyy do we have a lot to discuss! This includes Gucci's literal death (don't worry, he's here to discuss it), religion, the most read column in a local tabloid, the existence of popular consensus, and who represents the literal embodiment of the hivemind. Shout out to Óli for being the new Munro, shout out to Guðjón for surviving, shout out to Ragnar for keeping on truckin'! Enjoy, folks!

Have a good summer!
Really you could just listen to this little voice message because it's only about 30 seconds long buuuuut in case you'd rather read this description LIKE A NERD then please know that Munro is summering so hard so fast and so deep right now and is unable to come to the phone. Blame him. But while you're blaming him, go outside and get some goddamn sunshine you pasty little boy and/or girl.
