About this listen
In this even bumpier second episode, Scott Agnew takes centre stage with the full, jaw-dropping account of his heart attack during the pandemic - from brushing off chest pains with pints and fags, to walking in to resus, to three cardiac arrests in the back of an ambulance. It’s a story of paramedics turned pals, emergency stents made on the fly, and a mum who didn't know what to say.
Along the way, Nathan and Scott detour into broken feet dismissed as sprains, family slapstick outside taxis, and the generational divide between “banging tunes” and “skibbidy-rizz.” Expect equal parts gallows humour and genuine emotion as Scott relives the night Ruby Wax’s laugh quite literally kept him alive.
This episode digs deeper into the reality of living through heart failure and cardiac trauma, while never losing sight of the comedy in life’s darkest moments. It’s raw, ridiculous, and real - proof that even in the middle of a medical emergency, you can still find a punchline (and maybe a Jubilee cup dessert).
