This week, Adam and Keith unwrap the very finest crap nobody asked for: the ultimate Middle Raged Gift Guide. From overpriced pasties the size of a canoe to incontinence pants, the chaps trawl through the most spectacularly awful gifts aimed squarely at folk of a certain age. Expect sarcasm, despair, and an unhealthy amount of middle aged humour as they decide which gifts deserve a place under the tree — and which should be launched into the sun.

The less-than-dynamic, middle-aged duo are back with another dose of midlife humour and righteous rage. In this episode, Adam and Keith shine a light on the great British rip-off. From the price of a pint to the cost of parking, the chaps delve into some of the most egregious examples of rip-off pricing.

A dose of middle-aged humour about a world where we no longer own anything — we just rent, subscribe, and renew forever.

In this episode, Adam and Keith hark back to the days when we bought music on cassettes and CDs, doorbells just chimed, and software came on a disc... usually in a nice box with a weighty manual.

Now we lease or subscribe to everything: music, software, cars, and even bloody doorbells.

A burst of midlife humour as Adam and Keith explore the absurd world of exercise gadgets that promise six-packs but deliver buyer’s remorse.

In this episode, Adam and Keith discuss ten exercise gadgets that promise beach body results but inevitably end up in the garage or on Facebook Marketplace. Unsurprisingly, they get a little ranty about the promised results of each product.

A slice of middle-aged comedy about the bizarre world of weight loss — where logic goes hungry and common sense starves to death.

In this episode, Adam and Keith tackle weight loss and the ridiculous diets designed to hack our basic biology... badly. From tapeworm pills to cabbage soup, the chaps rage, rant, and despair at the lengths some people will go to in order to shed a few pounds.

A dose of dry British humour about the disappearing art of simply doing your bloody job.

From dishwasher installers who don’t install dishwashers to conveyancers who treat deadlines as vague suggestions, it feels like nobody actually does the job they’re paid for anymore.

When did doing the bare minimum become standard practice?

A sprinkling of rage and middle-aged humour as Adam and Keith question whether our cherished memories of the past are genuine — or just the byproduct of selective amnesia.

In this episode, Adam and Keith dismantle The Great Nostalgia Lie. From cassette-loaded video games to caravan holidays and the Argos catalogue, were the “good old days” really that good — or just a bit shit?

A round of middle-aged banter as Adam and Keith unveil their tongue-in-cheek manifesto for a saner, sweary-but-sensible Britain.

To mark the thirtieth episode, Keith and Adam are launching The Middle Raged Manifesto - their no-nonsense list of laws they'd pass if anyone were stupid enough to vote them into power.
