Baz and Mike have been drinking so they're brave enough to talk about things so controversial they'd not dare to chat about them sober!

The boys chat fat people, the wars in Ukraine & Gaza and politics in the UK and USA.

It's a bumper one so we've split it into two parts, don't forget to set our podcast to autodownload and set notifications to ping you so you don't miss part 2!

If you'd like to hear more from Mike & Baz when they're drunk, why don't you head over to buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod and buy them a drink or 5!

The idea of this episode was to do our usual cocking about but in an unexpected turn of events, there actually ended up being SOME genuine life advice from a couple of old men who - admittedly - nobody should be taking life advice from! We must point out that if any young and impressionable listeners stumble across this, we cannot be held legally responsible for the mess you make of your future life by following any advice contained in this weeks episode. If you'd like to reward us for our advice or just buy us a drink for entertaining you for FREE for the past three years, head over to buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod and chuck us a few quid. You can even sponsor the show if you want to be our favourite.

Johan tentatively outs himself as a flat earther, Rick calls a four year old a c*nt and both the boys put a price of the death of a dog.

In the second part of our bumper chat with Johan & Rick, we get their Mildly Controversial opinions, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous and we find out that Johan missed the MILDLY part when we asked him to think of his opinions

Please review, like, comment and share. All of these cost you nothing but REALLY help us grow the podcast. If you think it's a bit rude to get such quality entertainment for FREE each week for the past 3 years, you can make yourself feel less guilty by throwing us a few quid to spend on the rather large costs of producing this by a one off donation or even sponsoring an episode, just head to www.buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod

The first of two episodes with friends of the show, Rick & Johan, superstars who are followed by millions on social media. In this episode, they take us through their lives and their new podcast "The Confessional Podcast". One of them grew up in brothels, the other as a Christian. The perfect combination to host a show where listeners anonymously confess their darkest secrets.

There's been so many ridiculous news stories on the internet so far this year that Mike & Baz couldn't wait til the usual end of year review to talk about them. Here are the best from January to March.

If you enjoy what we do, you can help keep the podcast going by throwing us a few quid at www.buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod where you can do anything from buying us a drink to full sponsorship of the show.

Join us to celebrate Baz's 57th birthday (if he makes it!)

Mike surprises Baz with a birthday special and some messages from some very special (and well known) people.

At the start of the year, Mike & Baz made some resolutions and predictions. A quarter of the way through the year, it's time to check on progress! Did Mike get an acting job? Did Baz remember to put his keys where he'd find them? Did Liverpool get sawn off from the GB mainland and pushed into the Irish Sea? There's only one way to find out!

Please support the show by leaving a review wherever you are listening to this. Or if you'd like to buy the boys a drink in return for over three years of mediocre entertainment you can do that at www.buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod.

If you'd like to help us cover the productions costs, you can sponsor an episode - or the whole show - contact the show at mildlypodcast@gmail.com for more details

In this episode, Baz is in Ireland and meets local social media star Donegal Daddy to discuss going viral using bin bags and a hair dryer, things you didn't know about Ireland and Irish national obsessions including death, curry sauce and chicken fillet rolls.
