Still talking with Jono and Rich

Rich is an overthinker about absolutely everything… right up until the moment he starts spending money. Then apparently no thought is required whatsoever.

Also this episode:

And if you're having a bad day, just call your mum. She'll immediately remind you she's having a worse one and hasn't sat down since the Middle Ages.

Nothing heals quite like finding out your mum is somehow busier than you.

What Rich really needs is Shazam for people — something that quietly tells you the name of the person you've already met six times who's now walking towards you looking delighted to see you.

Also this episode:

Sometimes maintaining family relationships means knowing exactly which message you absolutely shouldn't send.

Jono knows everything is going to be fine because he saw 11:11 on the microwave earlier. That's basically a financial plan and a medical diagnosis covered.

Also this episode:

Plus, holding back sarcastic replies takes an enormous amount of energy out of Rich.

And judging by the car, he needs to start conserving it.

Being a childless man in your 40s is terrible. All Rich ever gets to do is exactly what he wants, whenever he wants.Thoughts and prayers.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich used to think bulls were stupid for charging towards red flags. Then he looked at humans and our dating history.

Turns out we don't avoid red flags. We ask what they're doing Friday night.

Rich loves when someone says “You handled that really well.” No, he didn't. You just had to listen to him bang on about it for three months while he recovered. At least nobody else knew.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich has one major problem with 2026: every two minutes, it's Monday again.

At this rate we'll be retired by next Tuesday. Unfortunately, we still won't be able to afford it.

Rich's salary isn't enough to buy a house, so he's done the financially responsible thing and bought an iced latte instead.

Also this episode:

Plus, don't talk to Rich in the morning until he's had his… actually, you know what? Just don't talk to him in the morning.

Home ownership can wait. The iced latte can't.

Saying “shopping” to Jono triggers roughly the same chemical reaction as saying “walkies” to a dog. Suddenly he's alert, excited and ready to leave the house.

Also this episode:

And Rich reflects on all the bad decisions he's made under the influence… before realising the sober ones haven't exactly been any better.

At least the drunk decisions had an excuse.

If you offer Rich food and he says no, PLEASE offer again. He was only being polite the first time and was absolutely planning to say yes the second time.

Also this episode:

Plus, adult friendships might be the greatest relationships of all: “Yes, I'm alive. I love you. Leave me alone. That's enough. Talk soon.”

Low-maintenance friendships and low-budget dating. Rich only approves of one of them.

We've decided three-day weekends should be standard. Four days of pretending to be productive followed by three days recovering from it seems perfectly reasonable.

Also this episode:

From three-day weekends to the ethics of being hit by a robot car. We really should stop pretending this is an educational podcast.

This episode asks some of life's bigger questions. Mainly: why are people still leaving their dog's poo on the street?

Also this episode:

So, a perfectly normal journey from dog shit to medieval philosophy.

Exactly the sort of intellectual range nobody asked us for.

JONO loves it when doctors say “avoid stress” like it’s a choice. Brilliant advice. He’ll simply stop having problems.

Also this episode:

And Rich remembers his twenties, when he'd happily hang around with criminals and end up at strangers’ parties. Now leaving the house without a very good reason gives him anxiety.

Apparently growing up is just becoming increasingly suspicious of plans.

Rich is both a perfectionist and a procrastinator, which means he spends an extraordinary amount of time stressing about the quality of things he hasn't actually started yet.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich gets asked whether he's accepted someone's apology. Of course he has. He's accepted it, understood it, deleted their number, blocked them and begun mentally erasing their entire existence.

Forgive and forget. Rich is particularly good at the forgetting-you-exist part.

Nobody calls you all day. Nobody needs anything. Then the second you drift into the perfect afternoon nap… your phone rings.

Also this episode:

And Rich's deep thought for the week: disliking him is completely valid. There's a decent chance he confronted you about your poor behaviour while everyone else politely ignored it.

Not everyone's cup of tea. But then again, some people have terrible taste.

Rich has realised home Rich, work Rich and off-duty Rich are three completely different people. At this point they barely even look related.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich keeps forgetting one important fact about social interaction: other people can see his facial expressions.

Unfortunately, his face has never learned to lie.

Rich knows he was born to be rich. Not because of his bank balance… but because of the way he spends money.

Also this episode:

Plus, everyone needs to calm down with the autumn nonsense. Summer isn't over until October, so sit your pumpkin ass down — Rich isn't finished roasting yet.

Holiday arguments, questionable procedures and unsolicited festival toilet advice. Just another episode.

Every day Jono wakes up determined to become a better person… and then he gets behind the wheel of a car.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich has cracked the cost-of-living crisis: wake up at lunchtime and you never have to buy breakfast.

Financial advice you absolutely shouldn't take from a man shouting at traffic.

Rich loves waking up to a cute little morning text… especially when it says “Your order has been delivered.” Romance isn't dead; it just has tracking information.

Also this episode:

Plus, you know life has become boring when your entire wardrobe consists of only two categories: work clothes and pyjamas.

Growing older gracefully was never really an option.

Our parents really did get one thing right — printing photos, sticking them in albums and actually keeping them.Somewhere along the way we replaced that with 38,000 photos on our phones we'll never look at again.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich explains why he hates making decisions — ask him what he wants and his nervous system reacts like he's been asked which wire to cut on a bomb.

Bad jokes, bad decisions and absolutely no idea how to greet each other.

Ever go onto complete autopilot, forget something ridiculously obvious like putting petrol in the car, then wonder how you've survived this long?

Also this episode:

Relationship dilemmas, questionable hobbies and casual misinformation.

Basically, don't tell Rich anything you don't want circulating by lunchtime.

Rich believes your dog might actually be your guardian angel. Jono believes Rich needs to stop reading hippie nonsense on the internet. So we're off to a strong start.

Also this episode:

Royal news, dodgy genetics, financial irresponsibility and Rich's spiritual awakening.

BBC News has absolutely nothing to worry about.

We're asking the important hygiene question nobody else has the courage to tackle: can you get more than one day's wear out of your jocks?

Also this episode:

Getting older is basically injuring yourself putting on clean underwear before climbing into sheets you should've changed last Tuesday.

What happens when you swap a kitchen for the African bush?

Join Rich in South Africa's stunning Makalali Private Game Reserve as he cook a traditional braai surrounded by breathtaking scenery, incredible wildlife, and the sounds of the African wilderness.

In this special episode of Taste and Talk with Rich, we're taking cooking back to basics — open flames, fresh ingredients, and great company. From preparing kudu skewers over the fire to sharing stories from the bush, this is a celebration of South African food, culture, and the unique connection between nature and cooking.

Makalali is one of South Africa's premier private game reserves, home to extraordinary wildlife and unforgettable safari experiences. It's the perfect backdrop for a food adventure unlike any other.

If you love food, travel, safaris, wildlife, outdoor cooking, or simply discovering incredible places, this episode is for you.

The painful moment in adulthood when you realise your mum was right all along... we really did have food at home.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich has a theory that there's a very specific level of sleep his body desperately needs... and no matter how long he stays in bed, he never quite reaches it.

Just enough wisdom to make you think… followed immediately by complete nonsense.

Adulthood is basically just moving things from one chair to another... until one day you actually need the chair.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich wonders if anyone else feels like their body's engine warning light has been on for years, but we're all just driving along hoping it sorts itself out.

Another episode full of questionable theories, unnecessary debates and absolutely no medical qualifications.

People always ask if you're a beach person or a mountain person. Rich's answer? "I'm just a poor person."

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich explains why arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon—it'll knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and walk away convinced it won.

A little bit of life advice, a lot of oversharing, and absolutely no dignity.

Rich wants to become a better person... but anyone who can't drive properly is still getting shouted at.

Also this episode:

Plus, two grown men trying to work out if they're becoming wiser with age… or just louder.

Another week of opinions, oversharing and absolutely no qualifications.

Jono kicks things off by declaring himself a hybrid athlete... average in the gym, awful at running and absolutely elite at drinking.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich admits the only reason he hasn't unfollowed certain people is because their drama makes toilet breaks far more entertaining.

Just enough life advice to get you into trouble.

Nothing kills a rant faster than someone saying, "Welcome to the real world." Cheers... that's really helped.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich asks the important question... do they have nursing homes for unemployed 45-year-olds, or do you just get put in a WeWork?

One existential crisis, several bad opinions and absolutely no useful advice.

You avoid spending money all week... then somehow lose half your salary in one afternoon. That's adulting.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich admits he's reached the age where normal swear words just don't hit hard enough anymore.

Another completely unqualified discussion about modern life from two blokes who probably should know better.

Rich has finally worked out his financial problem… one tiny source of income and about fifteen massive sources of expenses.

Also this episode:

If it was meant to take that long… he'd have sent a letter.

Two blokes trying to save the world one pointless debate at a time.

Has anyone else reached the stage where it feels like you're raising your own mum? Because that woman does not listen anymore.

Also this episode:

Just two mates trying to work out modern life... one unnecessary panic at a time.

Rich did some financial planning and discovered he can retire at 97... and live comfortably for almost 11 minutes.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich has one important question… if stress balls aren't for throwing at the people stressing you out, what's the point of them?

When someone asks, "What's wrong with you?"... do they mean right now, or are they asking for the full backstory?

Also this episode:

Two blokes navigating modern life, one dodgy haircut and one abusive cat relationship at a time.

It's payday... which means it's time to spend money you technically don't have yet.

Also this episode:

Plus, Rich shares the moment he realised he was getting older... Waitrose rearranged the aisles, and it genuinely ruined his week.

Growing older is inevitable. Becoming grumpy about supermarket layouts apparently is too.

Your parents always said, "You'll understand when you're older." Annoyingly... they were right.

Also this episode:

Proof that growing up is mostly just pretending to know what you're doing, while arguing about completely ridiculous things.

One hundred episodes of opinions nobody asked for, stories that went off on bizarre tangents, and somehow you're still listening. Thank you for being part of the madness.

To celebrate, we've packed this one with some absolute classics:

From Episode 1 to Episode 100, it's been laughs, questionable opinions, terrible ideas and more tangents than we can count.

Here's to the next 100. Thanks for listening. 🎙️🥂

Jono tried making a high-protein, low-calorie Greek yoghurt cheesecake. It ticked every health box... apart from the important one: it tasted absolutely awful.

Also this episode:

Immature humour, questionable life advice and two grown men proving that turning 40 doesn't automatically mean growing up.

That moment when the urge to declutter disappears... and you realise you've thrown away something you actually needed.

Also this episode:

The conversation starts with decluttering and somehow ends with the collapse of civilised debate. Just another day with Jono & Rich.

If you survived Ecco the Dolphin or The Lion King, you deserve a medal. '90s video games weren't designed to be fun... they were designed to test your emotional resilience.

Also this episode:

A nostalgic trip back to a simpler time, when games were impossible, technology made strange noises, and nobody needed to Google how to finish a level.

Everyone tells you to be yourself... right up until they discover you're a little bit weird.

Also this episode:

No conclusions. No experts. Just two blokes confidently making life harder for themselves.

They say you should do one thing that scares you every day. Rich's choice? Waking up and participating in society.

Also this episode:

Questionable life advice, unnecessary debates and two grown men confidently discussing things they definitely aren't qualified to explain.

There is absolutely no graceful way to separate two shopping trolleys. Everyone looks like they're losing a fight with a robot.

Also this episode:

Questionable opinions, unnecessary debates and two grown men trying to make sense of modern life... with very limited success.

Nothing fixes a terrible day quite like ice cream... unless you've just faked your own kidnapping to avoid getting into trouble with your wife.

Also this episode:

Everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about... so maybe be kind. Unless you're the bloke FaceTiming on loudspeaker in the supermarket.

Also this episode:

Nobody solved a single problem, but everyone got judged anyway.

Rich gives you two options: an awkward silence or an awkward conversation... neither ends well.

Also this episode:

• Why sleep is one of the strangest things humans do when you really think about it
• Jono's latest rant about crazy drivers and the people who shouldn't be behind a steering wheel
• The shocking story of a teenager who went blind after living on junk food
• Why Rich has developed a theory that stupid people might actually have it easier
• And an important philosophical question… do caterpillars know they're about to become butterflies, or is it the biggest glow-up in history?

This episode proves that overthinking absolutely everything is both a talent and a problem.

One person jumped the queue in a coffee shop… and Rich has never fully recovered.

Also this episode:

• The tiny everyday arguments that make couples say, "That's it. We're done." From dishwashers and air conditioning to stealing your partner's chips.
• The heartbreaking question every pet owner wants answered… are you actually your dog's favourite?
• Jono celebrates an unexpected Amazon win that almost never happens.
• And we settle a surprisingly divisive question: who stands up to put their socks on?

Plus, Rich discovers he's got the soul of a Spice Girl and the knees of a Golden Girl.

Two mates, too many opinions and absolutely no chance of staying on topic. 

Jono thinks he's dangerously close to becoming a jigsaw puzzle person, while Rich is forced to answer one important question…

Would he actually survive?

Also this episode:

• The old workplace drama you still think about years later
• A retro Games Box selling for an eye-watering amount of money
• Would Jono or Rich survive medieval London, prison, a cruise with no phone, living in Dubai on AED100 a week, rural Ireland or customer service?
• And is it perfectly reasonable to dislike someone because they refused to eat your food?

Some opinions should've stayed as inside thoughts… but here we are. 

Rich explains why cooking together is massively overrated, while Jono proudly defends his legendary cheese sandwich.

Also this episode:

• Why there's always that one person at the gym who seems to hate you for absolutely no reason
• The debate around whether The Odyssey has gone "too woke"
• Is it ever acceptable to comment on someone's weight?
• And the everyday situations that make you question humanity before 10am.

This episode contains strong opinions, zero filters and at least one argument that nobody saw coming.

Rich accidentally bought a shopping trolley, and somewhere during the episode became convinced Jono was gaslighting him… or maybe the other way round.

Also this episode:

• When does gaslighting stop being a buzzword and become the real thing?
• Should the World Cup finally get a proper half-time show?
• The debate nobody asked for… where should men actually have hair?
• Plus the everyday purchases that make you question your own life choices.

No facts were harmed in the making of this episode. Only each other's patience.

Jono somehow managed to get into three separate fights over the weekend, while Rich accidentally sparked a full-blown argument between a married couple… and sat back to watch it unfold.

Also this episode:
