Eddie Chat pod #7 - "Legalize the Lot!"
23/04/2025 Duration: 01h34minWelcome back fellow nutters, "I've got a good Brain Man!"In this packed episode of the show, we explore a wide range of topics — from the philosophical to the absurd. We discuss the importance of boredom, rethinking substance abuse through the lens of public health (with a nod to Portugal’s progressive approach), and question the ethics of profiting from healthcare.We also take a fresh jab at Swedish bureaucracy, examine troubling content from a Chinese crocodile farm making the rounds on YouTube, and reflect on the curious global rise of K-pop through Eddie’s ever-growing bemusement.Plus: uncanny cultural similarities between Italians and the Irish, small-town funeral customs, more stories from the recent New Zealand–Australia tour, and an unexpected call-in from the one and only Donatello “Booboo Dolls” Boogenhagen, with some musical surprises thrown in for good measure. This episode is the result of two weeks of independent effort — handcrafted, self-produced, and full of heart. No big teams. No shortcuts.

"We like to say crocodile inhabited, out of respect to the crocs" #28 Adam Britton
21/08/2020 Duration: 02h06minMan oh man! If you like crocodiles and mad shit that can do you in... This is the stuff for you. I'd recorded this last year, (but theres a slight hissing noise in his background audio thats why I didn't put it up yet). Sure what can you do? It's too good not to share. The mans insights are amazing. Little known fact about myself, I've been obsessed with crocs and gators since I was a small kid. My dream job was to be a marine biologist, or a zoologist working with Sharks and crocs. This for me was an awesome conversation. Perhaps the best so far. With some very surprising moments that blew my mind. A huge thank you to all of my patrons as always!
