      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tom and Rob are back for Episode 82 and, after the emotional ADHD special, normal service has resumed.</p><p>This week the lads dive headfirst into the wonderful chaos that is Eurovision. Was Sam Ryder robbed? Is the voting system completely broken? Should countries stop awarding points to each other and leave the whole thing to the public? And how did the UK’s entry become annoyingly catchy despite every instinct telling them it shouldn’t?</p><p>They also reveal plans for a very special upcoming Episode 85. A mystery walk around St Albans featuring five locations, five stories and one lie. With contributions from friends of the show including Karen, Adam, Simon, John and Drew Lusion, it’s shaping up to be one of the most ambitious things Studio:Channel84 has attempted.</p><p>The Chipmunk and Beaver return with another round of Badly Described Movies, sending Tom and Rob down increasingly ridiculous rabbit holes as they attempt to identify famous films from clues that are either brilliantly clever or downright cruel.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Snack Sack is packed once again. This episode features a pistachio-filled chocolate bar that feels suspiciously familiar, a cookie dough experiment that raises more questions than answers, and a new flavour of Walkers crisps that sparks an unexpectedly passionate debate about gravy.</p><p>There’s also discussion of TFL strike misery, Christmas decorations appearing far too early, questionable Eurovision ambitions, parenting realities, and a heated edition of Best Left In The 90s as two iconic 90s songs go head-to-head with only one surviving the trip back to the present day.</p><p>As always, expect pop culture, nostalgia, food reviews, terrible opinions, accidental filth, and two middle-aged dads somehow ending up talking about beavers for far longer than anyone intended.</p><p>Find out more about all the shows at https://channel84.co.uk.</p><p>#Eurovision #SnackSack #90sMusic #ComedyPodcast #MovieQuiz</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week’s episode of <strong>The Variety Show from Studio:Channel84</strong> is a little different.</p><p>No usual chaos. No Rob. No ridiculous debates (well… mostly). Just Tom, out on a late-night walk, talking honestly about something that’s shaped far more of life than he ever realised: <strong>ADHD</strong>.</p><p>After being diagnosed with <strong>adult ADHD at 42</strong>, Tom opens up about what the process actually looked like — from <strong>NHS Right to Choose referrals</strong>, therapy, and diagnosis, to trying <strong>ADHD medication</strong> including <strong>methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine</strong>. But this isn’t a medical guide. It’s the messy, personal reality of what happens when you finally start understanding why your brain works the way it does.</p><p>From <strong>doomscrolling and low mood</strong>, to self-esteem, procrastination, rejection sensitivity, masking, overthinking and the constant mental noise that never really switches off, this is an honest conversation about the bits of <strong>ADHD and depression</strong> that people don’t always talk about — especially in adults.</p><p>Tom also gets candid about struggling this week, the reality of feeling burnt out, why “ADHD is a superpower” doesn’t sit right with everyone, and what happens when medication side effects hit harder than expected.</p><p>It’s not the usual Variety Show energy — but if you’ve ever wondered what <strong>adult ADHD actually feels like</strong>, struggled with mental health, or know someone going through diagnosis later in life, maybe this one will resonate.</p><p>There is still a tiny bit of normality, though… because no episode would be complete without a questionable <strong>taste test</strong>, this time involving <strong>Sprite Zero Mint</strong>, mojito comparisons, toothpaste vibes and immediate regret.</p><p>Normal chaos resumes next episode.</p><p></p><p>#ADHD #AdultADHD #MentalHealth #ADHDMedication #Depression</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Barclays tech support apparently runs on spreadsheets. Pearl Jam may or may not be speaking English. One child becomes emotionally invested in the tragic fate of fictional people who “didn’t want to die.” Just another normal week on The Variety Show.</p><p>This episode spirals through customer service rage, impossible-to-understand song lyrics, and one of the strangest debates we’ve had yet: if X-Men mutations are real, did we all get the absolute worst powers? Ear rumbling, eyebrow lifting and nostril flaring are apparently not enough to save humanity.</p><p>We dive back into another round of illegible lyrics featuring songs you definitely know… but probably never understood. Expect heated opinions, terrible guesses and a growing concern that some legendary singers may simply refuse to pronounce words properly.</p><p>Snack Sack returns with sweet treats, imported oddities and a salt &amp; vinegar experience that may qualify as a minor chemical incident. There are wins, disasters and at least one snack that should probably apologise for existing.</p><p>We also revisit peak nostalgia with a challenge built around classic TV memories, weirdly specific childhood viewing habits and the kind of programming schedule that absolutely shaped an entire generation. Plus: a musical showdown where one iconic 90s anthem faces total destruction while another fights for survival.</p><p>Elsewhere, there’s parenting chaos, bizarre kids’ playlists, questionable spam emails, nostalgia-fuelled nonsense, and the usual amount of rude, fun, unfiltered stupidity from Rob &amp; Tom.</p><p>New episodes every other Monday from The Variety Show at Studio:Channel84.</p><p>#PearlJam #CottonEyeJoe #SnackReview #90sNostalgia #RobotWars</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Episode 79 of The Variety Show from Studio:Channel84 is what happens when nostalgia, snacks, and absolute nonsense collide.</p><p>The long-running cap gun saga finally gets its “satisfactory ending” — involving a suspiciously realistic cheap plastic gun, Russian/Ukrainian caps, and the discovery that modern versions are somehow louder, smokier, and more likely to explode the toy itself. Along the way, Rob and Tom question safety warnings, childhood chaos, and whether anyone actually followed the rules in the 90s.</p><p>From there, things take a hard turn into music — specifically Peter Gabriel. From the brilliance of <em>Sledgehammer</em> and <em>Solsbury Hill</em> to the baffling lyrics of <em>The Book of Love</em>, the debate quickly becomes: how did we get here?</p><p>Then it’s time for the Snack Sack — featuring Korean Pepero sticks, a bizarre chocolate “Cornetto” knock-off with unexpected flavours, and an aggressively sweet strawberry goo snack that nearly ends the episode via sugar overload. Ratings are handed out, regrets are shared, and sleep is officially cancelled.</p><p>The chaos continues with a brand new game segment built around links. </p><p>The main event? The Shopping Centre Challenge. Rob and Tom build their dream shopping centres using A–Z shops — from Blockbuster, Woolworths and Toys R Us to Greggs, Nando’s and Safeway. It quickly spirals into nostalgia, arguments, and the harsh reality that one of these fictional shopping centres would absolutely go bankrupt.</p><p>Finally, in <em>Was It Best Left in the 90s?</em>, two 1997 charity songs go head-to-head — and only one survives. Spoiler: Bono never stood a chance.</p><p>It’s rude, chaotic, nostalgic, and exactly what you expect.</p><p>#nostalgia #90s #snacks #shopping #music</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This week on <strong>The Variety Show from Studio:Channel84</strong>, things start weird and somehow get even stranger.</p><p>The episode opens with an unexpected Peppa Pig monologue that turns into a full-blown character assassination of Daddy Pig, Peppa, and the entire family dynamic. It’s not the Peppa Pig take you were expecting.</p><p>From there the chaos continues with <strong>The Chipmunk Challenge</strong>, introducing a brand new game called <strong>Mouth Trap</strong>. The rules sound simple: explain a word without using the obvious clues. In reality it quickly turns into a frantic guessing game involving Minecraft, Mario, Alien, spaghetti, and classic playground games. Tom and Rob attempt to beat the Chipmunk at her own game — with varying levels of competence.</p><p>Then comes the <strong>Snack Sack</strong>, and this might be one of the strangest taste tests we’ve ever done.</p><p>First up are two imported drinks: a <strong>jasmine peach soda</strong> that tastes suspiciously medicinal, followed by a <strong>Chinese lime soda that somehow becomes one of the best drinks ever tried on the show</strong>, earning an instant perfect score.</p><p>But the real disaster arrives with a snack called <strong>Crispy Cluck</strong> — a chocolate treat designed to look like fried chicken. It sounds ridiculous. It looks ridiculous. And once opened… it somehow manages to be even worse than expected.</p><p>As if that wasn’t enough, the conversation veers into <strong>90s music nostalgia</strong>, with Jive Bunny’s rock-and-roll mega mix battling Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” for survival. Along the way, a revelation about <strong>The Beautiful South’s “Don’t Marry Her”</strong> proves the radio version most people grew up hearing isn’t actually the real lyric.</p><p>Also featuring: cap gun nostalgia, Apple Watch sleep scores that make no sense, spam emails that refuse to stop arriving, and the ongoing mystery of why our podcast seems to be blocked in Russia.</p><p>It’s rude, chaotic, nostalgic and completely unfiltered — exactly how The Variety Show likes it.</p><p></p><p>E-mail:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a> (Both hosts)</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:tj@thevarietyshow.co.uk">tj@thevarietyshow.co.uk (TJ)</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:rob@untitledscifishow.co.uk">rob@untitledscifishow.co.uk</a> (Rob)</p><p>Main Site:</p><p>https:.//channel84.co.uk</p><p></p><p>#PeppaPig</p><p>#AlanisMorissette</p><p>#90sMusic</p><p>#SnackTasteTest</p><p>#BeautifulSouth</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Misheard Lyrics & Dangerous Childhoods]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <strong>The Variety Show</strong>, Rob and Tom dive head-first into the chaos of <strong>misheard song lyrics</strong>, questionable <strong>90s nostalgia</strong>, and the kind of <strong>dangerous childhood experiments</strong> that would absolutely get you arrested today.</p><p>It starts with a nostalgic trip down memory lane with <strong>cap bombs</strong> — those plastic missile-shaped toys loaded with paper caps that produced a satisfyingly loud bang and that unforgettable sulphur smell. Of course, that innocent nostalgia quickly escalates into stories of childhood creativity involving <strong>firecrackers from France</strong>, homemade explosive experiments, and a mysterious series of exploding <strong>dog bins in St Albans</strong>.</p><p>Then the show takes a turn into one of the strangest corners of pop culture: <strong>lyrics that nobody can actually understand</strong>. Rob challenges Tom with a quiz featuring songs from <strong>Blur, Green Day, Nirvana, System of a Down, Gorillaz, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Barenaked Ladies</strong>, proving that half the music we’ve sung along to for decades might as well be complete gibberish unless you’ve read the lyrics sheet.</p><p>Naturally, this leads to a rant about the internet’s obsession with fake “misheard lyrics” like <em>“we built this city on sausage rolls”</em> — because apparently the internet thinks everyone hears songs about processed meat.</p><p>There’s also a chaotic <strong>Snack Sack</strong> segment featuring a bizarre <strong>giant peelable mango gummy</strong>, suspicious <strong>Galaxy Flutes</strong>, and surprisingly brilliant <strong>maple bacon waffle crisps</strong> from Aldi. One snack scores a rare top rating… another absolutely does not.</p><p>Elsewhere, the episode veers into classic <strong>90s pop culture</strong>, including Billy Piper’s early pop career, the tragedy of animated classics like <strong>The Land Before Time</strong>, and the discovery of a genuinely disturbing <strong>banned Tweenies episode parodying Jimmy Savile</strong>.</p><p>It’s nostalgic, slightly unhinged, occasionally educational, and proof that the 90s were a much less supervised time to grow up.</p><p>New episodes of <strong>The Variety Show</strong> drop every two weeks from <strong>Studio:Channel84</strong>.</p><p>#MisheardLyrics #90sMusic #90sNostalgia #RetroToys #SnackReview</p>]]></description>

      <itunes:title><![CDATA[Alan Ritchsons Love Eggs]]></itunes:title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Episode 76 of <strong>The Variety Show</strong> is here and it might be the strangest mix of topics we’ve had in a while.</p><p>Tom and Rob start with movies, including the Netflix sci-fi action film <strong>War Machine</strong>, which unexpectedly turns into a full appreciation segment for <strong>Alan Ritchson</strong>. There’s also a chat about the different eras of <strong>Spider-Man films</strong>, why Andrew Garfield might be underrated, and how modern blockbuster movies compare to the classics we grew up with.</p><p>Gaming chaos follows as the lads talk about introducing kids to video games. From the early disasters of <strong>Minecraft parenting</strong> to the surprisingly perfect starter game <strong>Goat Simulator 3</strong>, they discuss how modern kids jump straight into huge open-world games like <strong>Spider-Man 2</strong> when we all started with a joystick and one button. </p><p>Then comes the <strong>Chipmunk Challenge</strong> — a quiz of <strong>badly described films</strong> that somehow manages to confuse two grown men who claim to love movies. Expect terrible clues, wild guesses, and the realisation that some films sound completely unhinged when described badly.</p><p>The food segment returns with a seasonal classic as Rob tries a <strong>Cadbury Creme Egg</strong> for the first time ever. The result? Let’s just say the sweetness causes immediate regret.</p><p>Finally, the <strong>Snack Sack</strong> returns with a drinks special featuring <strong>Sprite Lemon &amp; Lime Tea</strong>, <strong>Coca-Cola Cherry Float</strong>, and <strong>Pepsi Max Tropical</strong>. One of them is surprisingly brilliant. One is deeply confusing. One is absolutely awful.</p><p>Add in a rant about the so-called <strong>worst songs of the 90s</strong>, a nostalgic discussion about Easter eggs, and plenty of completely unnecessary Alan Ritchson jokes… and you’ve got Episode 76.</p><p>Rude. Fun. Unfiltered.</p><p>#WarMachine #UKComedyPodcast #PopCulturePodcast #SnackSack #AlanRitchson</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Episode 75 is chaos by design.</p><p>With less than 24 hours before release, Rob and TJ hit record and commit to a raw 60-minute, no-edit episode. No music. No safety net. Just parenting exhaustion, 90s nostalgia, snack reviews, and an unexpectedly furious Peppa Pig rant.</p><p>Yes. We’re talking about Daddy Pig.</p><p>The episode spirals (in a good way) through Peppa Pig’s portrayal of dads, questionable Bluey books, bedtime story chaos, and whether kids’ shows secretly hate fathers. From “Daddy Pig’s Lost Keys” to fairground sexism and archery stalls, nothing is safe.</p><p>Then it’s onto pure nostalgia fuel: a 90s sound quiz featuring ... see if you can guess.  This one will hit hard.</p><p>We also revisit Ambassadors of Funk’s 1992 Super Mario Land track and ask: was it best left in the 90s, or does it still slap?</p><p>Snack Sack returns with:</p><ul><li>Caramel Penguins (that barely taste like caramel)</li><li>Japanese Toppo vanilla biscuit sticks (deeply underwhelming)</li><li>Lay’s Numb &amp; Spicy Hot Pot crisps (absolute redemption arc)</li></ul><p>There’s also film spinner chat, No Country for Old Men love, Hopper reactions, studio updates, and the joy of rediscovering retro tech like Doom, DOS prompts and CRT start-up sounds.</p><p>It’s rude. It’s chaotic. It’s unfiltered. And somehow… it works.</p><p>New episodes every two weeks on Monday.</p><p>Part of the Channel 84 network.</p><p>#Podcast #90sNostalgia #PeppaPig #RetroGaming #SnackReview</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WARNING - We tested out a walkabout recorder rather than the Lavaliers.  I know it's not as bad as I think but I still want you to know, this isn't the normal quality!!  We are working on it, I promise!</strong></p><p>For the final episode of the year, Tom and Rob leave the studio behind and take a festive wander through two familiar towns to answer one important question: <strong>which one actually feels like Christmas?</strong></p><p>Armed with nostalgia, sharp opinions, and a suspicious number of LED complaints, the boys walk through <strong>Hemel Hempstead and St Albans</strong>, judging Christmas lights, trees, town centres, and the general festive “vibe” — while discovering that colour appears to be illegal in modern Christmas decorating.</p><p>Along the way there are disappointing trees, baffling design choices, Instagram-bait decorations, knitted postbox toppers, and one genuinely Christmassy saviour hidden away in the Maltings. There’s also a gloriously retro detour into <strong>90s Nokia ringtone culture</strong>, as Rob attempts to identify classic Christmas songs recreated using a vintage Nokia composer emulator.</p><p>Add Liebkuchen taste-testing, childhood memories, mild outrage, and the slow realisation that it’s far too late at night for Christmas lights to still be on — and you’ve got the perfect cosy, chaotic send-off for 2025.</p><p>Merry Christmas from <strong>The Variety Show</strong>, and we’ll see you in 2026 🎄</p><p>#WalkingHomeForChristmas</p><p>#ChristmasPodcast</p><p>#UKNostalgia</p><p>#Channel84</p><p>#FestiveChaos</p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p><strong>Now open - Reddit!!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow">The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow</a></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>Twitter - @_VarietyShowPod</p><p>BlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.uk</p><p>Instagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPod</p><p>TikTok - varietyshowpod</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://channel84.co.uk">https://channel84.co.uk</a>.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Intro created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummie</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://geekybrummie.com">https://geekybrummie.com</a></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>WARNING - MR BLOBBY CONTENT IN 'WAS IT BEST LEFT IN THE 90s'.</strong></p><p>It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and also the most <em>unhinged</em>. Episode 70 marks our annual <strong>UK Christmas Adverts &amp; Snack Ratings Spectacular</strong>, where Tom and Rob take on <strong>18 adverts</strong> and <strong>18 festive treats</strong> in a marathon of ho-ho-ho’s, ho-ho’s, and the occasional definitive <em>no-no-no</em>.</p><p>This year’s lineup includes everything from <strong>robot cars in San Francisco</strong>, the eternal question of whether <strong>Titanic is a Christmas film</strong>, Benedict Cucumber-Snatch’s Grinch legacy, Asda’s “Very Merry Grinchmas,” and the kind of baffling advert casting choices that can only happen in December. Keira Knightley? Joe Wilkinson? Cheese counters? Sure.</p><p>Alongside the ads, the table is absolutely covered in snacks: Skittles drinks, spicy crisps, imported German <strong>Liebkuchen Rounds</strong> that may have spiritually changed one of the hosts, and enough sugar to put the Reindeer Union out of business. Expect passion, confusion, festive arguments, emotional breakdowns over bakery products, and a lot of surprisingly deep food analysis.</p><p>If you love Christmas adverts, hate Christmas adverts, or simply like listening to two grown men slowly lose structural integrity across 90+ minutes… this is your episode.</p><p>Listen now on:</p><p>🍏 Apple Podcasts</p><p>🎵 Spotify</p><p>📱 Goodpods</p><p>🔗 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://pod.link/Channel84">https://pod.link/Channel84</a></p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p><strong>Now open - Reddit!!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow">The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow</a></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>Twitter - @_VarietyShowPod</p><p>BlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.uk</p><p>Instagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPod</p><p>TikTok - varietyshowpod</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://channel84.co.uk">https://channel84.co.uk</a>.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Intro created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummie</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://geekybrummie.com">https://geekybrummie.com</a></p><p>#Christmas2025 #Adverts #Xmas #Christmas #Xmas2025</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tom and Rob dive head-first into one of the most unhinged pieces of children’s television ever created: <em>Totty</em>. What starts as a simple retro deep-dive quickly becomes an existential crisis featuring flaming dolls, cursed grandparents, satanic umbrellas, and a child staring lovingly into open flame. Yes, really.</p><p>Before that, Tom shares his upcoming San Francisco trip, an exploding schedule, and the legendary “goat joke” that nearly cancelled the show in under 90 seconds. Then: a nostalgia quiz of 80s and 90s theme tunes — from Banana Man to Fraggle Rock — complete with VHS-quality audio and the return of Bertha’s questionable accents.</p><p>The middle of the episode melts into absolute advertising chaos:</p><p>– Walkers’ “delicioussss” mouth-sounds terror</p><p>– The unnervingly AI-generated Coca-Cola Christmas advert</p><p>– The truly cursed Mo &amp; Mia boiler mouse PSA</p><p>– McDonald’s disastrous voice-note delivery ad</p><p>– Tom &amp; Rob both record <strong>their own voice-note versions</strong>, and yes, they are worse.</p><p>Later, the boys ask: <strong>Has the death of terrestrial TV secretly killed our Christmas spirit?</strong> A surprisingly wholesome (and sad) reflection about festive adverts, Argos catalogues, and why no one gets the magic anymore.</p><p>Finally: <strong>The 90s song that time should have left behind</strong> — Bus Stop’s remix of <em>Kung Fu Fighting</em> — and the shocking confession that Tom once bought it on CD from Woolworths.</p><p>It’s chaos. It’s nostalgia. It’s horrifying dolls. It’s Episode 69.</p><p><strong>Tottie:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/Jya3iE4Zm8E?si=PVzoh8ot_wg7KwAe">https://youtu.be/Jya3iE4Zm8E?si=PVzoh8ot_wg7KwAe</a></p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p><strong>Now open - Reddit!!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow">The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow</a></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>Twitter - @_VarietyShowPod</p><p>BlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.uk</p><p>Instagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPod</p><p>TikTok - varietyshowpod</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://channel84.co.uk">https://channel84.co.uk</a>.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Intro created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummie</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://geekybrummie.com">https://geekybrummie.com</a></p>]]></description>

Listener submissions from Simon (Who Takes the Socks Off), Adam (Lightly Used) and James (Super A to Z) keep the game going right to the credits.</p><p>Then it’s <strong>Millennials vs Gen Z</strong> as Tom’s daughter Kay reads out baffling new slang — “cap”, “delulu”, “peak”, “riz” and “sigma” — while the dads try to decode what any of it means. Expect pure generational meltdown.</p><p>Things only escalate when they discover <strong>Club Bars, Penguins, and Wagon Wheels are no longer legally classed as chocolate</strong>. Cue furious nostalgia, a tangent on why Disney keeps remaking everything, and a plea for originality before the cocoa runs dry.</p><p>Finally, it’s a <strong>five-way Taste Test</strong>:</p><ul><li>Vanilla Latte Oreos ☕</li><li>Golden Wonder Chippies (Gravy Flavour) 🍟</li><li>Gingerbread Digestives (Festive Edition)</li><li>Maltesers Mini Reindeers (Gingerbread Flavour) 🦌</li><li>Kit Kat Chunky Rolo Edition 🍫</li></ul><p>Which snacks rise to the occasion and which get cancelled completely?</p><p>Plus, <em>Was It Best Left in the 90s?</em> returns with Fat Les’ <strong>“Vindaloo”</strong> — should it stay in ’98 or make a comeback?</p><p>It’s over-caffeinated, over-opinionated and over an hour of British nostalgia mayhem.</p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p><strong>Now open - Reddit!!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow">The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow</a></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>Twitter - @_VarietyShowPod</p><p>BlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.uk</p><p>Instagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPod</p><p>TikTok - varietyshowpod</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://channel84.co.uk">https://channel84.co.uk</a>.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Intro created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummie</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://geekybrummie.com">https://geekybrummie.com</a></p><p><strong>#SchindlersShoppingList </strong></p><p><strong>#ClubBarsArentChocolate</strong></p><p><strong>#MillennialsVsGenZ</strong></p><p><strong>#WheresTheGingerbread</strong></p><p><strong>#BringBackVindaloo</strong></p>]]></description>

Tom and Rob celebrate with Star Trek Micro Machines, Lego flowers and a brand-new charity art challenge for The Samaritans.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tom and Rob are back with another packed Variety Show, and Episode 54 is full of music, ghosts, TikTok chaos and a feast of Japanese treats.</p><p>🎶 <strong>Music Contest Catch-Up</strong> – The podcast song contest rumbles on, but can the lads finally agree on the rules? Tom and Rob argue, negotiate and maybe bend things just enough to keep the competition alive. Expect laughs, debates and plenty of off-the-cuff music talk.</p><p>👻 <strong>Ghunt at Hitchin British Schools Museum</strong> – Tom braved the famously spooky classrooms of the British Schools Museum on his latest ghost hunt. From eerie corridors to haunted air raid shelters, he brings back chilling tales and paranormal chatter, while Rob provides the sceptical (and sarcastic) commentary.</p><p>🎧 <strong>TikTok Sleep Earphones</strong> – Can a pair of £3 sleep headphones from TikTok really be any good? Tom has tested them out and tries to convince Rob they’re worth the price. Expect tech chat, comedy digs and maybe even a shopping list update if Rob caves in.</p><p>🥤🍜 <strong>Japan Special Taste Test</strong> – The highlight of the show. Tom and Rob dive into a mountain of Japanese snacks and drinks, including fizzy marble-popping Hata Ramune sodas, a cola twist, and a surprise sparkling orange cola from China. On the snack side it’s crunchy Baby Star Crispy Ramen Noodles in a variety of bold flavours: classic Original, tangy Yakisoba, rich Tonkotsu and punchy Garlic.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to <em>The Variety Show</em>! 🎙️</p><p><strong>📱 What Apps Do You Use?</strong></p><p>Tom &amp; Rob kick things off by sharing the apps they think <em>everyone</em> should have on their phones. From IMDb for film buffs, to Common Sense Media for parents, to Speedtest for techies, the boys compare notes and reveal a few underrated gems that deserve a spot on your home screen.</p><p><strong>🥤 Taste Test: Creamola Foam &amp; Coca-Cola Lime</strong></p><p>It’s a fizzy trip down memory lane as Tom &amp; Rob crack open Creamola Foam — the legendary retro drink — in Cola, Cherry, and Irn Bru flavours. But will nostalgia deliver, or does it fall flat? They also give Coca-Cola’s new full sugar Lime a go… but is it refreshing or revolting?</p><p><strong>🐧 Pingu Has a Banned Episode</strong></p><p>Pingu, the adorable stop-motion penguin, once had an episode banned — but why? The guys watch it live and try to figure out what was so controversial about a clay penguin and his snowy antics. Prepare for theories, giggles, and maybe even a little “noot noot.”</p><p><strong>🎶 Tom’s Reverse Music Quiz</strong></p><p>To round things off, Tom flips 10 popular 90s songs backwards to see if Rob can identify them. Will he smash it, or will the quiz end in chaotic humming and wild guesses? Play along at home and test your own 90s knowledge.</p><p>It’s an episode full of apps, fizz, banned penguins, and backwards nostalgia — don’t miss Episode 63 of <em>The Variety Show</em>!</p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p><strong>Now open - Reddit!!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow">The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShow</a></p><p>Find us on:</p><p>Twitter - @_VarietyShowPod</p><p>BlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.uk</p><p>Instagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPod</p><p>TikTok - varietyshowpod</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://channel84.co.uk">https://channel84.co.uk</a>.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p><strong>Music</strong></p><p>Intro created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummie</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://geekybrummie.com">https://geekybrummie.com</a></p>]]></description>

Buckle up.</p><p>👉 <strong>Find the Fake Headline</strong></p><p>Tom’s trawled through the bizarre world of <em>That’s Life</em> magazine to find 7 real (and really bad) headlines—and he’s thrown in 3 fake ones for Rob to spot.

Get ready for a rant you didn’t know you needed.</p><p>👉 <strong>Taste Test: Pepsi Chaos Edition</strong></p><p>Pepsi Cream Soda. Pepsi Strawberrys ‘n Cream. Exploded eggs. Three taste tests.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Variety Show Podcast:</p><p><strong>Bad Luck</strong></p><p>Tom, according to Rob, is a Psychopath because he opens things from the bottom and not the top.  The boys do a quick dive in to what they know about bad luck, before seeing if Rob can identify 'real' bad luck situations from around the world.</p><p><strong>Tarot</strong></p><p>Remember that thing Rob did for Halloween?  Yes, Tarot reading and it's about time he makes use of his new skill.  Tom wants a Tarot reading and it leads to some uncomfortable truths.</p><p><strong>Ghost Hunting in Peterborough</strong></p><p>Thanks to Paul Gannon (CheapShow, I ain't afraid of no ghosts etc), Tom and Rob were invited on a true to life, serious Ghost Hunt at Peterborough museum.  With celebrity guests including Mr Biffo and Sanja, Stuart Ashens and Ryan Livermore, the boys do their best to find ghostly goings on.  </p><p>Our video will be out in about two weeks times from release of this episode (21st July).

Did Gemma and K hear what they think they heard? See if you can tell whether The Bar Song swears or not.</p><p><strong>Blue Death</strong></p><p>Remember when Tom made Rob suck the Black Death? This time it's blue and it's not pretty. Thanks to Mr.Simms the Olde Fashioned Sweet shop in Milton Keynes for stocking these. We paid for them and totally regret doing that.</p><p><strong>South Park: Bigger, Longer &amp; Uncut</strong></p><p>In the summer of 1999, the UK and rest of the world got one of the finest musical movies ever to be released. Tom and Rob celebrate 25 years of the fantastic South Park: Bigger, Longer &amp; Uncut, reliving their favourite memories and songs. They then finish recounting their fave bits of the TV show.</p><p><strong>AI Sound Effect Quiz</strong></p><p>In a world rapidly being taken over by AI, Tom makes Rob guess generated sound effects. Can he tell the difference between a Guinea Pig and Balloon? Maybe he'll identify a Velociraptor against a fart.</p><p><strong>Skepticism</strong></p><p>Tom and Rob elude to a future project and what their stance is on Ghosts and UFOs.</p><p></p><p><strong>Social Details</strong></p><p>Find us on Twitter, Instagram, Threads, BlueSky and TikTok with @_Channel84 and @_UntitledTrek.</p><p>Facebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.</p><p>We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site https://channel84.co.uk.</p><p>Finally, why not e-mail us:</p><p>TJ <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk">mailto://tj@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Rob <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk">mailto://rob@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p>Both Hosts <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk">mailto://podcasts@channel84.co.uk</a></p><p></p><p><strong>The Annoying Hash Tags</strong></p><p>#SouthPark #AI #BiggerLongerUncut #HeartRadio #Shaboozey #Tipsy #BarSong #BlueDeath #BlackDeath #Skeptics #1999 #Misheard</p>]]></description>

We're sorry that Untitled Trek Show is delayed but next week we'll make sure you get double bubble! This week, if you want to listen, is Tom talking Gladiators episode 3 before going on a deepish dive about why kids nowadays don't get the same joy from TV he once did.. There were plenty of shows he forgot including The Crystal Maze which he and his brothers would crowd round and The Krypton Factor which the whole family would enjoy together.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Wow we underestimated how long we would speak in this episode, so apologies for this being a long one! Today we introduce Dan, our third host from 3 Dads, 1 Podcast acting as our judge and jury on film choices, Rob has even more Star Trek questions but before all of that, we all have to decide if Rob is weird. Finally, we get another look into what the boys remember with 'Do you remember', will Rob catch up on the score? You can find Tom's film choices here on the website, you'll see the exact list the boys are working from in this episode (Rob's will be uploaded soon). Join us on this episode of the podcast and make your mind up as to who is the winner.</p>]]></description>
