Half Basset Half Bellend

Ep. 69

Half Basset. Half Bellend.


We ring Ross mid-episode. He rings back while taking down the Christmas decorations. Scott is in a state of flibbbertigibbertry....probably. 


There’s a run-in down the pub involving Dolly wearing her half-Basset half-bellend lead sleeve, Pablo getting firmly judged at by a woman who’s convinced he’s humiliating her. 


Should Iggy Pop sit before Meat Loaf in the record collection?


We also have a pop at McDonald’s in Riverside Norwich, run through a Top 5 of New Year’s resolutions nobody kept, have our say on David Walliams and Ricky Gervais then turn our ire to the flag man, who’s popped back up to lower house prices and the general tone in Loddon.


Dedicated to Ross’s menagerie of departed cats — with a special shout-out to Mr Meeowy. If you're listening up there in cat heaven then sorry for laughing at your daft name.
