Adam rambles with Irish stand-up comedian, writer, and actor Dylan Moran about why he hates facts, chronic pain, what it means to be a man of advanced middle age in the 2020s, how many gummies is too many, music and why he thinks our reliance on tech and online culture is fostering a false sense of urgency, constant judgment, and digital dementia. Plus Dylan plays one of his songs on the guitar even though he can't play the guitar.

Adam talks with British comedian, writer, playwright, singer, journalist, producer and actor Dame Meera Syal about memoir writing, growing up part of the only brown family in a 1960s Midlands village, what the British Empire's legacy of colonialism meant to Meera's family, and then to her when she was handed some of the Empire's top awards, the problematic Peter Sellers song that gave Goodness Gracious Me its title, what the Simpsons should have done about Apu, and how Meera found herself in a Death Cafe.
THIS EPISODE CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE (mainly after the interview when Adam sings a song about jaw exercise).

Adam answers questions from the podcats about how he selects guests, whether he'd interview Elon Musk, misheard lyrics to the Like And Subscribe jingle, where the Entertainer jingle comes from, getting kids into music, the best gifts he's received and given and whether his hugs are 'creepy' or not.
