After recording this on possibly the hottest day of the year in a studio without Aircon, we certainly went around the houses with questions and scenarios, which I blame entirely on heatstroke. Watch and find out more below.
Watch or listen now to the latest episode of The Reject Pile where we feature 'The Doctor Won't See You' by @jsdocherty.bsky.social, and find out how we end up here...

Describe your sex life with a movie title. Or not. I’m not your mum.

Now pay attention Bond. These headphones have independent volume control, Bluetooth, and are so large they can be used as an emergency life raft.
Whatever a middle aged man fantasises his job would be, make it that. For whichever middle aged men you’re selling it to.

An American mistook me for Australian at a hotel in Budapest. When I pointed out I was English, he said accents were hard and asked where I thought he was from. He was a tad put out that I got it right. (He was from Ohio and I worked with a guy from Cleveland who could have been a carbon-copy)
Americans think British and Australian accents are the same. And here we all are. Localised for your pleasure.

To check which bit of the north east you're in, get them to say, 'I got the loaf from a look in a cook book'
Took me years to realise they meant "oo" as in "book" not as in "hoop". Just learn to pronounce the letter U, you cowards!

Method acting can be hard on families, When Daniel Day Lewis was filming his Oscar winning performance as Abraham Lincoln, it got so much that his wife suggested they take the night off and go see a play.

It's been recommended that the government appoints a dedicated space minister. Many think it's a perfect job for Ed Miliband, as he's already got his head in the clouds.

A brewer is planning to open a 150-year-old bottle of beer created for an Arctic expedition to brew a modern day batch. The bottle cost £3000 at auction, making it the second most expensive pint in Scotland after one at the Hydro.

Tech Billionaire Elon Musk compared rural Scots to JRR Tolkien's hobbits from The Lord of the Rings in an appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast. Many in Scotland were so outraged, they couldn't finish their second breakfast.

The glories of a bag of Tudor Crisps, especially their specials.
I occasionally bore people younger than I by telling them about how Walkers wasn’t really a prominent brand round here (TVS land) until 1992, 1993ish. Golden Wonder and Smiths were the big two.
