We all know what we need to do to maintain a good level of self-care but why do we find ourselves putting things off, getting distracted by social media or just saying that we don't have the time? This episode looks at why the simplest of tasks are sometimes so out of reach. Also, Damo's getting extra Christmas presents this year, Mark's still banging on about the price of chocolate (and crisps), the return of a new type of football hooliganism, High Wycombe, going to the gym and categoric proof that TikTok can read our minds. ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

We're back and it's our 100th episode (so sorry for the wait!) and we're straight into a meaty feast of carnivore diets, eating like wolves, Mark acting like a robot, how Costa Coffee and Dominos are fronts for Chinese giant TikTok, people with no filters and the great chocolate mug off of 2022! ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

There are some things in life that just don't make any sense. In a time where cars drive themselves and we can create black holes in a drainpipe under Geneva, it's hard to accept there are so many numerous galactically stupid things happening. In episode #99 (with no flake!) Damo and Mark discuss how many people constitute a riot, where bacon comes from, how TikTok is slowly killing us and "the pecking order of hatred" down at Bristol Rovers.  ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

Our path to self-empowerment is fraught with many dangers that we play our part in creating throughout our lives. We must first discover, understand and accept them before we can create effective change. Our basic needs are founded in healthy relationships with food and this episode explores how consternation and judgement around our food choices can put us on the path to self-destruction. Also, why pasta and pizza is nonsense and how trusting the process can unlock way more fulfilment than a long-term goal ever could. ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

"Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys", a mantra fit for a modern age of self-discovery and self-preservation. Also, the title of our 97th pod where Damo & Mark are back discussing Sainsbury's new Woke Aisle, personal communications through difficult times, emotional numbness, gratitudes and blessings, changing entrenched habits and how we can't stomach the agendas of food corporations any longer. ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

It's been 288 days since we started our three-part mini-series on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), our most successful podcast episodes to date. This episode revisits BPD to see how time and our pod conversations have shaped perceptions in and around this condition. Also, the horror of bumping into people you know in public, Hawaii has a lot to answer for, nail clipper news, Damo's media blackout and getting mugged off by millionaire sex offenders. ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.

Damo's had enough! He's decided to unsubscribe to the spam of life and change his intentions. It's lonely being curious and open-minded in a world where we are repeatedly encouraged to take sides. Now is the time to finally make a stand. Also in this episode, shit game shows with shit celebrities, Irish tales of the Virgin Mary, bullshit in high office, Jacob Rees-Mogg's pathetic ego and Mark becomes profound... "The freedom that you think you're given breaks down the structures that you need to be free."

This episode is up and out of the blocks quickly as Mark talks about his "Five Measures Of Success" - five simple measures that define and shape a successful outcome. It's not what was planned for the pod but you can't stop molten gold in its path! Also in this episode, it's a sprint and not a marathon, the emotional support pantomime horse, a tease of the next episode "Enough Is Enough" and a little taste of Fred Pearce's "The Complete Guide To Bristol's Pubs" from 1975. ----- ** YOUR HOSTS ** Damo & Mark --- ** HOW TO LISTEN** Our Podcast is brilliantly hosted on Anchor.
