Two Guys, What's Up?

Welcome to this week’s episode which, we’re sorry to say, isn’t a normal one. Due to Iain’s ongoing treatment, we’ve made the hard choice to call a short hiatus to give him the time he needs to concentrate on getting better.We’re hoping that doesn’t mean you won’t be hearing from us from time to time until Ep195, though! We’re hoping to be able to get together for the occasional catch-up, check-in and a laugh a few times along the way, but today, we just wanted to sit down together, explain what’s happening, keep you all in the loop and, because it’s us, have some fun along the way. And just to be absolutely clear: Two Guys, What’s Up? is NOT done.When all of this is over, we’ll be back doing what we do — paranormal tales, bizarre internet rabbit holes, terrible jokes, parties, live shows, celebrations and enough nonsense to make up for the lost time. But for now, we want to say a massive thank you to every single person who has listened, messaged us, shared the show, seen us live, laughed along or simply pressed play each week. This weird little thing we started has somehow turned into a big family, and we genuinely love you all for it.So this isn’t goodbye. It’s just: we’ll see you when I’ve made cancer my b***h.

This week, Iain and Jordan are asking two of humanity’s biggest questions: what the hell is going on with the Moon, and why is everyone on Vinted so angry?Iain takes a trip to our nearest celestial neighbour and digs into some of the stranger theories surrounding the Moon. Is it hollow? Has it always been there? Could it have arrived later in Earth’s history? Was it somehow moved into position? And why, after thousands of years of staring at the bloody thing, are people still convinced there’s something about the Moon we’re not being told?Then Jordan brings things firmly back down to Earth with some of the weirdest, funniest and most unhinged interactions from Vinted. Silly sellers, nightmare buyers, bizarre arguments and, for reasons nobody can quite explain, a surprising number of conversations that somehow end in threats.From mysterious objects orbiting the Earth to people apparently willing to murder over second-hand clothes, it’s just another week here at Two Guys, What’s Up?Support us Two Guys on Patreon for bonus episodesCheck Out Our Merch StoreText our WhatsApp Two Guys Hotline on: 07395 840199All the linktree links for all your TGWU needs Music: https://www.purple-planet.com 

With Iain temporarily away getting treatment, there’s only one sensible solution: send in the next generation.This week, Dylan of The Curious Creepy Club Podcast takes his dad’s place alongside Jordan for a chat that goes exactly where you’d expect a conversation with Dylan to go…absolutely everywhere.They discuss things like Dylan’s three wishes should he ever get his hands on a genie’s lamp, just how fast he reckons he can run, and his general thoughts on some of life’s biggest questions including Bigfoot, witches and wizards, and the surprisingly complicated logistics of what would happen if vampires and zombies started biting each other.It’s wholesome, weird, funny, and gives Iain absolutely no reason to worry that his job might actually be stolen while he’s away.

This week on Two Guys, What’s Up?, Iain takes us down a lonely stretch of road on Dartmoor for the chilling tale of the Devonshire Hairy Hands.For more than a century, motorists travelling near Postbridge have reported something bizarre taking control of their vehicles: a pair of disembodied, hairy hands appearing on the steering wheel, gripping tightly and attempting to force them off the road. Are they the ghostly hands of a long-dead driver? A curse haunting the moors? Or does Dartmoor simply have Britain’s most aggressive driving instructor?Then Jordan turns his attention to redundant sayings—the unnecessary words and phrases we use every day without giving them a second thought. Things like saying “ATM machine,” even though the M already stands for machine, or declaring, “Never in my whole entire life,” when whole and entire are apparently doing the same job—and perhaps neither is needed if you’ve already said never in my life.The only problem is that us guys disagree over what actually counts as redundant. Is it pointless repetition, or does it add emphasis? Are we wasting words, or is Jordan just trying to dismantle the English language one sentence at a time?So we need your help! Listen along and let us know whose side you’re on—because one of us is clearly wrong, and it would be really helpful if the audience could confirm that it’s Jordan.Support us Two Guys on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes Check Out Our Merch StoreText our WhatsApp Two Guys Hotline on: 07395 840199All the linktree links for all your TGWU needsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.com 

This week on Two Guys, What’s Up?, we head back to 1977 for the bizarre story of Joyce Bowles —the woman who was driving through Winchester with her passenger, Ted Pratt, when they claimed they encountered a strange red-eyed figure beside a stalled vehicle.What followed was one of those gloriously odd British UFO stories, but we soon come to find out that it wasn't just a roadside encounter and a non-human figure; it turns out there's more to Joyce’s story that has puzzled researchers ever since.So, naturally, we treat it with the seriousness and dignity it deserves.And then Jordan ruins everything.After the paranormal finishes, he brings one of his favourite games to the show for the first time: asking Iain a perfectly normal set of questions, recording the answers, and then changing the questions afterwards so those answers suddenly sound completely unhinged.Find out what Iain would apparently do with his sister-in-law’s rats, discover what he really thinks of Paul from Question Buggers, and hear several other answers that make considerably less sense once Jordan has finished tampering with reality.Just another completely normal Monday on Two Guys, What’s Up?Support us Two Guys on Patreon for monthly bonus episodesCheck Out Our Merch StoreText our WhatsApp Two Guys Hotline on: 07395 840199All the linktree links for all your TGWU needsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.com 

This week, we’re joined by the familiar face that is Pamela Hayward, a psychic medium who claims to be able to receive communication with those on the other side! Pamela speaks about her views on mediumship training, including the less glamorous side of mediumship, and how it can be dangerous!What happens when we die? What exactly is the “other side”? Are some relationships carried across different incarnations? Is there a point where we finally stop coming back?It’s a wide conversation about life, death, rebirth, consciousness, mediumship, spirituality, responsibility, the afterlife and the endless recycling of existence.So settle in, open your mind, and prepare for one of our biggest conversations yet.Because apparently dying might not get you out of anything after all!?Support us Two Guys on Patreon for monthly bonus episodesCheck Out Our New Merch StoreText our WhatsApp Two Guys Hotline on: 07395 840199All the linktree links for all your TGWU needs Music: https://www.purple-planet.com 

This week on Two Guys, What’s Up?, Iain dives into the bizarre true story of Arigó, the Brazilian psychic surgeon who claimed to channel the spirit of a dead German doctor known as Dr. Fritz. Armed with little more than kitchen knives, no sense of medical hygiene, and a can-do attitude, Arigó reportedly performed operations on thousands of people while seemingly awake, untrained, and surrounded by witnesses. Was he genuinely being guided by something beyond the grave, or an extraordinarily convincing showman?Meanwhile, Jordan tries something different with Iain’s Crazy Real Paranormal Experience. Iain is tasked with filling in the blanks in a story Jordan is retelling on his behalf, and Iain’s answers complete the picture to create his very own ridiculous paranormal encounter. Where did it happen? What terrifying entity appeared? And what completely inappropriate object did he use as a good luck charm? Only one thing is certain: whatever story comes out the other end, it definitely, absolutely, 100% happened. Probs.

This week on Two Guys, What's Up?, Iain dives into one of the internet's biggest mysteries: where did the term "conspiracy theorist" come from? Was it really popularised after the JFK assassination to silence people who asked too many questions, or has its history become muddied over time? We trace the origins of the phrase, examine the genuine 1967 CIA document at the centre of the debate, and separate historical fact from fiction.Meanwhile, Jordan flies the flag of the White Rose with a collection of classic Yorkshire jokes, from legendary penny-pinching to proper Yorkshire misunderstandings, sayings and stereotypes. Whether you're from Yorkshire or just enjoy a good laugh, there's plenty to get stuck into.Come see us LIVE on October 29th for our episode 200 live recording get your tickets here Support us Two Guys on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes Check Out Our New Merch StoreText our WhatsApp Two Guys Hotline on: 07395 840199All the linktree links for all your TGWU needsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.com
