11/17/21 • 19 min
This week join Mike and Danny and their new band 'The Nasty, Brutish and Short’ as they lay down some more wicked beats to scandalise and appal you all. How, I hear you cry, can we keep such evil under restraint? How will we curb the excesses of these sinful individuals who flout the laws of both god and man? "Some sort of leviathan perhaps?" shouts Hobbs from the back. "What about a sharp stake and some holy symbols?" suggests somebody with a big hat lurking in the shadows. “Maybe a bunch of strategically positioned fig-leaves?” exclaim the naked couple casually spiting out fruit pips at a snake. But wait, surely there is nothing inherently evil about these guy, right? I mean, perhaps it’s the infrastructure they are forced to work within. Let’s smash the system and see what happens! Yes, front row centre its Hannah Arendt and Simone de Beauvoir kicking in doors and taking names. Us? We were just obeying orders.

Episode 150: Evil Special Part 3
This week Danny reveals himself to be evil but only as a junior operative, queue jumping for sure but nothing truly irredeemable. Yes, we are back on the highway to hell but with the breaks on and in low gear. But what is evil? Are we talking about a psychological condition brought about by mass hysteria or the full goat headed, fire breathing, horn wearing, fork tailed son of a bitch? Do we ever actually see the monster or do we conjure it up from the dim dark recesses of our subconscious when in actual fact it’s just the shadows caused by the curtains rustling in the wind by an open window … and the strange faceless being staring at us with an eyeless face from across the street. Ok, you all stay here, I’m just going to take a look outside, I’ll only be a few minutes…

Episode 152: Essence and Identity
This week join Mike and Danny in the Philosopher’s Kitchen as they seek to impress the judges with their philo-culinary delights. Will the guest diners enjoy Danny’s Wittgenstein soufflé or will it collapse at the last minute proving to be insubstantial and nothing more than hot air? Will Mike’s Platonic pie flavoured with 'essence of human form' and served with a side of totalitarian taurine pique palates or send people scurrying to the toilet? As our conceptual cooks round off the evening with a desert constructed from leftover suspicion, a smidgin of Karl Popper sprinkled with nuts, the whole sorry mess is capped off with a nightcap of Mike over-sharing about his restaurant habits. Yes, this is where it starts guys, a feast for your minds - but remember, chew your food, enjoy it, you aren’t animals...
