Paul & Scott's Midlife Point

Paul is confused by an endlessly repeating public announcement in WH Smiths; Scott has proven that you actually can slip on a banana skin Plus: walking to help with mental well-being; accidentally going to the wrong toilet; and being burgled after seeing Gerry & The Pacemakers Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage

Paul is boycotting several radio stations because of a particular advert; Scott doesn’t have his scraper to remove ice from his car’s windscreen, but luckily he does have his driving licence Plus: what does it take to become an award-winning podcast? Will Paul ever find a cap that fits his head? And why is removing ear hair so much fun? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage Related linksJohn Barnes on Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barnes Paul’s annoying adverts: We Buy Any Carhttps://youtu.be/Bme3e-fOn9U?si=3NvxbYVDNK-WpO3S Compare the Meerkathttps://youtu.be/WqFvxqufiJA?si=X3tcowShNrJ7JMRt Go Comparehttps://youtu.be/_Ykdtga3sxk?si=-6WzykNHJLJPvO5T

Paul and Scott have just ordered a Burger King delivery from Just Eat and are aiming to have the podcast recorded before it arrives. Like supermarket shopping while hungry, this probably isn’t the ideal time to record a podcast, as all they can think about is food. Plus: Scott is planning vengeance on a seagull; pillows are turning yellow; and Paul hasn’t seen any Alfred Hitchcock films. Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage

Paul is happy to just eat meat at a barbecue; Scott isn’t happy unless potato salad is also there as an option Plus: will the cinema slowly die out? Could buying reduced price food from a supermarket be considered a hobby? And how do you avoid stray cats in Thailand? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage Related linksAlan Partridge’s World Cup 94 report from The Day Todayhttps://youtu.be/m7OxXKn70GM?si=eREYacCbMmker02C

Scott is haunted by teenage memories of his mother constantly listening to the song ‘You’re Gorgeous’ by Babybird; Paul finds out something about his childhood that he probably would’ve preferred not to know at all Plus: how many versions of ourselves do we become throughout life? Why is Paul convinced he has someone else’s GCSE results? And is there a link between Scott being run over and someone trying to assassinate Donald Trump? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage

Paul is turning passive aggressive to anyone who doesn’t say “thank you” when he holds a door open for them; Scott is hanging out in LA and Vegas and hoping to buy a hotdog at a baseball game Plus: hiccups…why?(Please note that while Scott has hiccups at the start of this episode, they go away within the first couple of minutes, and this particular episode is saved from being an absolute editing nightmare...) Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage

As always, Paul expects the worst from his next haematology appointment; Scott is at Heathrow Airport, ready to fly to America, but he's forgotten to do one very important thing… Plus: Scott’s eyesight has improved, but can it ever really match Paul’s? And when is the best time to call on Bob Marley? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram:@midlifepointEmail:midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage

Paul can’t work out the connection between his chronic leukaemia and reigniting an interest in wrestling; Scott needs to stop living vicariously through other people on YouTube Plus: how do we combat Sunday anxiety? Why are accents so fascinating? And should we complain if the hand dryer in a pub toilet is blowing out cold air? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage Related linksA clip from Paul and Scott's old radio show, The Paul & Scott Experiencehttps://youtu.be/Yu_grprxmGw?si=4HPqTwQLxvn_iNZC The trailer for The Reckoning starring Steve Cooganhttps://youtu.be/Wud_ofC2rAI?si=rulJz_qv-fLNenbS 'Scary Interesting' channel on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@ScaryInteresting/videosScott's YouTube channel 'Wandering Around', dedicated to his various travelshttps://youtube.com/@wanderingaround5299?si=sSS_BYEPt_YkmK2zPaul and Scott’s old band, Penny Racer's Last Journeywww.youtube.com/@prljuk

Paul thinks getting cosy of an evening might be better than a good night out these days; Scott is looking forward to Sunday when he can have a nice bubble bath and change the bed sheets Plus: can we recondition ourselves in the way we approach work? Are crowds of people more difficult to deal with since lockdown? And just where do ducks go at nighttime? Facebook: facebook.com/midlifepointInstagram: @midlifepointEmail: midlifepoint@gmail.comSupport: buymeacoffee.com/midlifepoint Music by The Garage
