There’s only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.

In an exciting run of 7 episodes in a row, Rhys is enjoying living life as a 7 year old in a Lockdown hotel/prison. We celebrate our 7th patreoner and get excited about the 7th Nessie sighting this year, whilst Dan and Buttons argue over whose news of 7 musical notes is the longest (and enjoy testing the patience of Rhys in the process). All these fun 7's and more... so get amongst it!

1:12:05

With Rhys exhausted from his seemingly endless UK standup tour - Buttons and Dan gallantly decide to do the heavy lifting this episode, and although a wonderful offer, it's not long before the weight becomes too much to bear... for us all! In issue you’ll find giant courting caves, dead dog clouds (and pizza), endangered hotel wake up calls, black icebergs complete with lazy code, an old man walks with lions, revenge of the birds... and stinky skin rust. Naturally. Enjoy the weight Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…

#108 The Animal Adjacent Issue 1:13:16

After the tangent filled 107 episode, It’s time for some top-tier tangent-free animal news! (With the disclaimer that 'tangent-free' excludes animal tangents - of which there are MANY!) In this issue, we get answers to the burning questions that we never wanted the answers to, like which host is the funniest? Which host is most likely to survive in the wild? Who is most likely to tame a wild moose whist riding an ancient Moa? Obvious! And, if you wade through this swamp of tangents long enough, you might just spot something that resembles content - such as a neck egg-laying giant snail, fresh Moose sightings in New Zealand, Mermaid’s purses spotted beneath an underwater volcano, Mouse Deer and Flying Squirrels going from extinct to extant as well as a Bigfoot eyewitness account thats fresh off the page! Last and certainly least, theres a dog pushing their owner off a cliff, which leads to the world’s first ever live animal reenactment on a podcast! You don’t want to miss this one!

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please take note of the following warnings before proceeding into this issue. TRIPPING HAZARD! Legendary 'Kappa' Hunter's flustered, loosey-goosey balls are rolling around freely in the streets of Japan. BEWARE of Schreiber's Animal Husbandry! In light of animals now being able to talk to humans, please refrain from placing any hands on Dan's new LITERAL chick. And REMINDER to check your call sheet number on today's episode of The Darby Truman Show (proudly brought to you by Name Brand cereal). Also, in this disturbed issue, we have: murderous colleagues stranded in Antarctica, very quiet sounds in a Sasquatch hotspot (audiobook available now... please!), freshly generated footage of the morally questionable Mexican 'Chaneques' goblins, and a new three-day Bigfoot festival in Oregon—which hasn't even happened yet!

#105 The Robot Host Issue 1:09:47

1:09:47

Well well well, let’s all give a warm virtual welcome to TCF's newest host! He’s so switched on, it’s almost like he’s made for it. Although, we have enough host action going on to keep us entertained with just our regular three: We have a time travelling child host coming back to cosplay as other hosts, a normal travelling host on a mission to coat tail another host, and a celebrity host and a not-so celebrity host meeting celebrity non-hosts, giving celeb-envy to another host…host hosty hosts! In this flotilla of information you will sail past the first Loch Ness Monster sighting of 2025, adorable wooly mice created by a whole company of genetically engineered employees, national cheesy naan crazes, and World-Record breaking vegetables making some oddly familiar noises.

In this flourishing issue, take a gander into the Great Glasshouse, wear a sash in the Seat-less Storeroom and dive deep into a Devalued Diary! At long last, Buttons reveals the tease of his personal proof of the afterlife and Darbs may actually be one of many Darbs. We have kayakers being swallowed by whales, celebrities and side kicks being harassed by ghost children in haunted ships, and Bigfoot hunts with ex-girlfriends causing dramas in divorce courts. Turns out the FBI might be tapping into your phone line from the comfort of your mothers bedroom, and for the first time ever, we have animals doing perfectly normal things in places they should be...you don’t want to miss this one!

Many say Oarfish are an omen for disaster about to strike - Well consider yourself warned! In this chaotic episode we have Dan battling with psychic abilities, crocodiles mimicking drowning humans, overwhelming feelings of being a mermaid and AI (quite rudely) requesting all humans to die...promptly followed by AI romance! A fresh new book idea is brewing which is fitting as it turns out we are in the midst of the World Smartest Man AND the Stephen Fry of New Zealand and to top it all off, who doesn't love a good cliff hanger?

This episode is for all the aliens and wave-chasing, space-travelling future Cryptid Knights out there! In here Dan has Druid news for Buttons and at last Rhys gets his very own (and very noisey) museum piece. There's news of a time-travelling Simpson, an elaborate intestine restaurant ruse, and a freaky human skinned robot face. There's also fish gazing at stars and alligators missing and found... oh, and some lovely sing-songs to remember peoples names by. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast.

58:30

In this episode - Rhys is ahead of his time, Dan is listening to the band 'The Lip Slitsticks' and Buttons employs the 'Trisand' effect - making it highly likely that this will be the most listened episode ever! Also In here there's old men failing at reminiscing, Goonies Tridems, buried Mash, banned books on banned books, cheap top-secret Chinese military cartoons, free bee heaters, juvenile 'not-so-big' Bigfoot foot prints found, Turing test gets a pass, and the scariest sound of all time goes up against the loveliest sound of all time... and a Sasquatch caller!
