210. Summer Catch-Up: Padel, Smashed Controllers & A New Office?

Hayden turns up in a Nike sweatband, insists it is not cosplay, and claims his paddle sponsorship money is not far off Tiger Woods territory. It goes downhill from there.

Dylan sets a test to work out exactly which decade Hayden's sports knowledge stopped in, then gives listeners a guided tour of the podcast room, recently tidied in the loosest possible sense of the word. Five things you can see, including a box from a school Dylan left roughly eight years ago.

There is also a confession involving a games controller, a pair of scissors and a level of competitiveness that arguably should have flagged on a DBS check.

Then it turns properly honest. A year on from leaving the classroom, the lads are weighing up renting an office space, with a baby six weeks away and a decision needed that day. They are genuinely split, and they want your take.

Daft, honest, and a proper break from the to do list.
