Season 3.10 - AI gone wild, the Roman Empire, Abi on Russell Brand, crazy coincidences and a crazy cocktail

Only Slightly Drunk

It’s another OSD, and as usual, we’re bringing a mix of fun, trivia, unpredictability and slightly drunk chat that only this podcast can provide.

Scott and Abi are with us, and we start with Logan joyfully telling us all what titles the AI suggested we call the previous music debate episode – and they all feature Scott, front and centre. Is Scott actually the AI in disguise?

Johnny hits us with his usual blend of fact and enlightenment with TYO, and Robbo then talks us through the latest developments in President Trump's fraud case - and the massive $3.6 billion damages judgment that might ensue.

And if that doesn't pique your interest, how about a unique cocktail that's making waves in London having been a big hit in Spain for years. It’s a fusion of red wine and Coca-Cola...yes, you heard that right. The gang all give it a try, tasting it for the first time live on the show…will it be a hit or not? The reactions are priceless.

Abi gives her opinion on the Russell Brand situation, and she’s not holding back – at all!

The gang discuss two hot topics that seem to be occupying the world of social media a lot lately; how often do you think about the Roman Empire and could you land a plane? As you might expect, the answers are NOT what you’d expect, and will have you laughing out loud even as you shake your head in despair.

We then traverse the intriguing world of coincidences – Logan talks us through some of the most fascinating and at times downright spooky documented cases of coincidence in history, as the gang add their thoughts. What IS a coincidence? A random event over which we have no agency, or a sign that destiny and fate exist, or is it just the human brain working in mysterious ways? Is déjà vu real? Is the universe just a complex but arbitrary mess or is it too neat, makes too much sense, suggesting a guiding hand behind it all?

Finally, we bring things home with another instalment of Bollocks or Not. It’s 2-2 so far, who’s going to win the episode and take the lead as the season finale starts to come into view?

Pour a drink – a cup of tea is fine – and sit down and enjoy your usual Friday aural treat.

OSD – it’s like you’re in the room.
Apologies for some sound issues in this episode. The sound engineer has been sent to his room to think about what he's done for a few days.
