This week Andrew is joined by the ever-lovely Dr. Sam to discuss albums that feel like coming home. Naturally, they barely stick to the topic. Expect bowel-related rants, coffee-fuelled enema chat, and Dr. Sam outing himself as the world’s most dangerous urinal misuser.

They dive into the albums that comfort them like a warm blanket (or a familiar loo seat), including Ugly Kid Joe, Black Sheep, The Kinks, and the Charlatans, while getting stuck into the finer points of why Weird Al is the hero we don't deserve, why Led Zeppelin would have been insufferable to drink with, and why toilets in Finland might be the pinnacle of personal hygiene.

There's also a controversial theory connecting Smells Like Teen Spirit to Shangri-La by The Kinks, which is guaranteed to get the comment section frothing.

Expect industrial-grade tangents, as the lads try and fail to stay on musical track but somehow land the plane into the cozy arms of nostalgia—covered in hot sauce and regret.

Stuff we sort of talked about:

Coffee enemas vs garden hoses

Binoculars covered in wee

Funk metal is not dead, it's just pretending to be polite

The joy of albums that teleport you back to awkward teenage years

Why Weird Al might be the gym soundtrack you never knew you needed

Squatting over skatepark-style toilets (yes, really)

If you like your music podcasts barely about music, you're in the right bog.
