    From Cheeseburger chasers to sneaky post-dinner stops at the Golden Arches, no McDonald's craving goes unexplored. Alex even aims for the "unnecessary" McDonald's drink, revealing his bold strategy of binning it – talk about a revolutionary approach to fast food!

    S2E30 - The Top 5 Fizzy Pops

    S2E30 - The Top 5 Fizzy Pops
    In the latest episode of the Discussing Nothing podcast, Alex and Kelvin are diving into the Top of the Pops! And no, we're not talking about the music TV show; we're talking about the American's term for that bubbly, effervescent delight – fizzy juice.

    Join our dynamic duo as they rattle off their top five fizzy drinks, ranging from the patriotic Irn Bru to Alex's nostalgic trip down memory lane, where Cherry Aid took him to unexpected heights. Get ready for a taste bud journey that's both sweet and effervescent, much like the fizzy concoctions they're passionately discussing.

    But hold on tight, because Kelvin, true to form, takes the pretentious route with the sophisticated choice of Fentimans Rose Lemonade. It's not just a drink; it's an experience, or so Kelvin would have you believe.

    Whether you're a soda aficionado or just someone looking for a refreshing listen, this episode has it all – from bubbly banter to fizzy revelations. So grab your favourite fizzy beverage, sit back, and let Alex and Kelvin guide you through a carbonated conversation.

    S2E29 - The Best Thing Beginning With F

    S2E29 - The Best Thing Beginning With F
    Prepare yourselves for a showdown of epic proportions in the latest episode of the Discussing Nothing podcast! Emma and Kelvin are going head-to-head in a battle to determine the absolute best thing beginning with the letter F. Grab your favourite cosy blanket and maybe a cup of coffee (or decaf, we won't judge) because this one's perfect to put on and fall asleep to.

    In the red corner, we have Emma championing the cause of "Food" – a sensible and fundamental choice, considering it's the sustenance that keeps us all ticking. However, her argument takes an unexpected turn as she delves into the intricate details of the digestive process.
    On the green side, Kelvin enters the ring advocating for the majestic "Forests." A choice that evokes the beauty of nature, oxygen-rich air, and the existence of woodland creatures. His pitch takes you on a journey through the tranquil depths of nature's wonders.

    But wait! Hold onto your sleeping masks, because an unexpected third player sneaks in from the sidelines, turning the tide of the competition in a way no one saw coming.
    Who will emerge victorious in this F-filled face-off? Join us for an episode that's not just about the letters but about the unexpected twists that make Discussing Nothing truly something special.

    S2E28 - The Top 5 Sauces

    S2E28 - The Top 5 Sauces
    Hold onto your condiment containers, folks! The Discussing Nothing podcast is spicing things up in the latest episode with none other than the highly anticipated, jaw-dropping, and sauce-drenched top-five list! Our sauce aficionados, Liam and Alex, take centre stage as they present their nominations for the most saucy selections of all time.

    In this saucy showdown, we've enlisted "Sauce Millar" himself, Ross, to act as our referee. Spoiler alert: turns out, Ross might be a bit underqualified for the role due to his surprising lack of sauce knowledge. But fear not, sauce enthusiasts, because what he lacks in expertise, he makes up for in sheer enthusiasm!

    Prepare your taste buds as Alex spills the saucy secrets, including the recipe for his legendary "Alex's Special Nando's Sauce." Brace yourselves for the controversial twist involving the introduction of meat juice to the sauce party – a move that's causing quite a stir. And did we mention Alex's peculiar penchant for exclusively indulging in mayo during alpine adventures?
    Just like a Shakespearean play, this podcast is a rollercoaster of emotions, with highs, lows, and unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat.

    S2E27 - The Top 5 Fruits

    S2E27 - The Top 5 Fruits

A good old-fashioned top-five list, and folks, we're diving deep into the fruity world! In this week's episode, our lively trio—Emma, the resident vegetarian causing a bit of nectarine-related confusion, and Kelvin, the maestro of the most pretentious fruit choices imaginable—take you on a flavourful journey.

    Hold onto your taste buds as Kelvin unveils his exotic picks, ranging from plantains to lychees, while Emma navigates the fuzzy terrain of what truly defines a nectarine. Get ready for a podcast that's not only entertaining but also nutritious – because we're serving up your fair share of the recommended five a day!

    Join the banter as we peel back the layers of fruit knowledge, exploring the spectrum from the ordinary to the extraordinary. It's the kind of fruit-filled conversation that makes you question if tomatoes really belong in the fruit family.

    S2E26 - The Top 5 Pumps in a Pub

    S2E26 - The Top 5 Pumps in a Pub
    As the new year draws closer, this truly is the best time for some reflection *Sighs* One thing that I would personally like to reflect on is some of the biggest robberies of 2023. Our nominees are:

    1. Erling Haaland - Ballon d'Or
    2. KSI - KSI vs Tommy Fury
    3. THIS VERY EPISODE OF THE PODCAST!

    In this episode, Ross (The pub landlord) has asked Liam (The person writing this) and Kelvin (The self-professed best editor in the office) which five beverages they would choose to have on tap if he were to hand over the keys - and well, that's just what is at stake here. YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! The winner will take over the coveted Old Bull Inn.

    We cover everything from Ross' inability to pronounce Spanish lager names to Kelvin lying about his ability to build a Prosecco pump! You won't want to miss out on the absolutely horrific takes we have in this episode.

    S2E25 - Christmas Special: Top 5 Christmas Things!

    S2E25 - Christmas Special: Top 5 Christmas Things!
    O welcome, all ye Christmas Lovers, to another episode of Discussing Nothing. As we approach Christmas, and start to do less work in the office, we thought it would only be appropriate to serve you up a festive helping of nonsense. We have pushed the boat out on this one... forget our usual scheduled programming of top-five lists, this time, we are taking a look at the top five Christmas things (yeah, I was as surprised as you are when I heard this one) Who better to discuss the topic than Aayln, the Christmas Queen and Alex, office Santa himself!

    Now this episode is a true Christmas miracle, perhaps one of the most wholesome meetings of the mind to take place on our prestigious pod. From the controversial political debate of real tree vs fake tree, because we all know that real trees are 'too spike', to Alex, once again reminding the audience of his prideful hot tub ownership.

    S2E24 - The Top 5 Months

    S2E24 - The Top 5 Months
    Months.... Gotta love em, right? Well, our long-time listeners will know that over here, at Discussing Nothing, we are incapable of counting above five, so twelve doesn't fly for us. That is why we have brought together the minds of Emma (resident vegetarian) and Alex (Lover of all things meat) to debate the top five months.

    Now, when I tell you this podcast has it all, I'm lying. What it does have is a tolerable conversation about birthdays, the moon landing and April Fools etiquette. Have you been post-fools joking? Find out here at the UK's Number one podcast for irrelevant conversation - where we dive deep into the questions Ross thinks of the day before recording.

    Now this is an episode thats sure to cause a 'stir' around the office... What are the best biscuits to dunk in your hot beverage of choice? Emma and Alex engage in a lively debate, sharing their top three choices and discussing the merits of each.

    p.s Kit Kats are definitely not a biscuit!

    S2E20 - Alex the Genie

    S2E20 - Alex the Genie
    In this hilarious instalment titled 'Alex the genie' The spotlight is on our boss, Alex, who has transformed into a GENIE! We do like to get creative over here once in a while. Alex will grant three wishes to one of his co-hosts, Aayln or Emma, but there's a catch - these wishes must tackle those oh-so pesky first-world problems.

    Aayln's wishes are genius! Never having to walk behind someone slow - Perfect, a dreamy unlimited year-round pass to a Christmas warehouse (Because who doesn't love Christmas all year long?), and a magical wardrobes that effortlessly outfits her in style.

    Emma's wishes are an endless supply of meal-prepped food (and we ain't talking fish and a rice cake). But we struck controversy mid-podcast with her wish for TELEPORTATION! That's not solving a first-world problem. However, her third with was a lot more tame - to always have perfect hair when she wakes up!

    S2E18 - Armies vs Allergies

    S2E18 - Armies vs Allergies
    Welcome, to another riveting instalment of 'Discussing Nothing,' the podcast that takes the art of debating the irrelevant to new heights! You've heard us argue what the best thing beginning with A (Avocados for the record) We now have a revolutionary new topic: The Worst Thing Beginning with A!

    In this uproarious episode, we're throwing two contenders into the ring, each scrapping for the title of the ultimate annoyance: Armies and Allergies. Now, you might be wondering how on earth one could compare a legion of marching soldiers with those sneezy, sniffling little irritants that invade our lives seasonally. Well, folks, that's exactly what we're here to do.

    Join us as we unpack these eye-watering (due to the pollen of-course) arguments. We'll weigh the merits of battlefield glory against the agony of hay fever, pushing the boundaries of pointless debate in the name of podcasting. So whether you're a seasoned general with a knack for tactical warfare or just someone who's been personally victimised by a dandelion, tune in!

    S2E17 - Laser-Eyed Kardashians vs Weather-Controlling Cowboy

    S2E17 - Laser-Eyed Kardashians vs Weather-Controlling Cowboy
    Welcome to another 'Discussing Nothing,' the podcast that takes the ordinary and twists it into extraordinary hilarity! In this uproarious episode, we're diving headfirst into a showdown that's so absurd, it's practically legendary: The Kardashians vs. a Cowboy! But hold onto your hats, folks, because this ain't your run-of-the-mill brawl!

    Picture this: The glamorous Kardashian clan, known for their impeccable style, outlandish drama, and world-famous contouring, are facing off against a good ol' cowboy. But wait, before you assume it's just a regular showdown, think again! These Kardashians have been busy honing their mutant-like powers, and trust us, it's not just about makeup and selfies anymore. Meanwhile, our cowboy contender is no ordinary ranch hand. With a mighty flick of his weather-controlling wrist, he can conjure up storms that rival even the fieriest of Kardashian feuds. But there's a catch: shiny objects hold an irresistible allure for our weather-wielding wrangler. Will he remember he's in the middle of a battle, or will he be lured away by a particularly reflective belt buckle?

    S2E16 - Celebrate or Be Berated!

    S2E16 - Celebrate or Be Berated!
    Stop what you're doing! We have a podcast of the utmost importance to share with you. You will DEFINITELY care about what the Discussing Nothing crew have to say today when they try to find the answer to something humanity's been pondering since the time of Socrates... What's the best chocolate in a box of Celebrations? Snickers? Mars? Scrumdiddlyumptious bar (throwback to the Willy Wonka episode for all those devoted fans of ours)? Who knows! Will Alex's anti-nut agenda prevail, or can Emma sway the masses with her devotion to that brown gold we call chocolate? Listen to find out who celebrated, and who got cele-berated!

    S2E15 - A Cloned Sheep vs The Definition of Masculinity

    S2E15 - A Cloned Sheep vs The Definition of Masculinity
    Let's get philosophical, guys. What is a clone? What does it mean to say something is "natural"? Are we humans, like Sisyphus before us, flying too close to the sun with our constant search for progress and advancement? These are all questions that we almost completely ignore in this fine episode of Discussing Nothing where Dolly the Sheep, a so-called "abomination to nature", plays a central role. That's right, you saw the letter "D" at the start of "Dolly" so you know what this episode's about. It's the best thing beginning with D! Find out the real meaning of "masculinity" with Kelvin's top notch deconstruction of Drive, or opt for Edinburgh's favourite clone, Dolly. Both are undoubtedly two of the greatest achievements of humanity's short existence so far, but which will prevail?

    S2E14 - A Urine-Drenched Fight Awaits

    S2E14 - A Urine-Drenched Fight Awaits
    Eh-oh! We've got another super fight for you to sink your gnarly teeth into! Alex and Tristan, barely recovered from the wounds of their previous battle, are set to tear into each other once again. The fighters? A viking with the cone of shame vs... Teletubbies. With cat-like reflexes and an urgent need for the toilet. Seems fair, right? And you would be right - it is fair! But to find out you will have to give this episode, saturated in the urine of Tinky Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy and Po, a good old watch. Check it out!

    S2E13 - Cats vs Chicken Run

    S2E13 - Cats vs Chicken Run
    If there's one thing we love in the Discussing Nothing podcast, it's slowly working our way through the alphabet and arguing about the best thing beginning with each letter. You've had your "A" winner with avocados. Champion of "B" was brunch. What's next? You guessed it - we need to decide on a winner for "C". In the "C" corner we have Emma and her army of cats. Not dogs - cats. What makes these furry felines the best thing in existence to begin with the alphabets third, and arguably most curvaceous, letter? If anyone knows, Emma does. In the other corner, also called the "C" corner, Tristan is running. But he's not running alone, he's running with the smash-hit stop-motion feature length picture... Chicken Run! Who will come out on top in this heated battle? Will Ross back the cats or the chickens in this fight for the title? Listen to find out...

    S2E12 - Four-Armed Sushi Chef vs. Werewolf on Stilts

    S2E12 - Four-Armed Sushi Chef vs. Werewolf on Stilts
    The Discussing Nothing super fight is back for another edition, with Alex and Tristan fighting it out once more in what's becoming a bitter and heated rivalry. The fighters today are: a sushi chef with not one, not two, not three, not five, but FOUR arms, and a werewolf wearing stilts! Will the sushi chef's years of training with the sharpest of knives pay dividend when they're wielding four at once, or will the supernatural being - presumably fresh from a stint in the circus - prevail? Listen to find out!

    S2E11 - Ranking the UK's Top Crisp Flavours
    If there's anything I know about the UK and its inhabitants, it's that we LOVE crisps. So, naturally, we love talking about what the best flavour of crisp is. That's where Discussing Nothing is heading for this episode! Departing from the usual argumentative and confrontational feeling of the podcast, this time Alex, Ross and Emma are going to have to work together to agree on the top five flavours. Prawn cocktail? Cheese and onion? Who knows what these crazy cats are going to decide on?! Well, I know actually because I watched the discussion live - front row seat of course. And, let me tell you, some people were NOT happy with the outcome. So crack open your favourite packet of crisp and wrap your ear holes around this podcast!
