I Love You, but..

Cannot believe we have already reached 20 episodes!   This week we are celebrating by asking you all to keep sending in your stories - we really want to make the podcast more interactive with our listeners.   We love you guys! So there’s lots of chat this week from Chris, and a little impatience from Jen apparently…LOL.   We have another Useless Purchases and a NEW SEGMENT called “Awkward Occurren...

Hello to our lovely tribe and welcome to episode 19!   Firstly, we have to say a massive thank you to @tkellzzz who helped us out with audio problems this week.   He was able to rectify most of the damage post-recording so we have to salute him as THE DUDE! This week we hear all about Chris’s self-made Vancouver birthday and what he’s been up to on-set. We also dive into Culinary Corner to hear ab...

Ep 18. Peter Piper’s Pop Shield Guys! It didn’t take us long to get back in the groove…   We so enjoyed creating this episode!   The camera was rolling, the mics were working, the internet didn’t crash and we properly “connected” in all senses of the word. In this episode we bring you a segment of “Grinding the Geeres” AND “Jen’s Origin of Words” along with some entertaining chat about Chris’s bus...

Ep 17. The Imposter Well it’s been a challenging week and a half to say the least! This week we bring you our podcast on a Monday due to emotional and technical glitches! After Chris was poached for an acting role in Vancouver, we had to rally to get the podcast set up remotely. We have battled an 8 hour time-difference, low quality recordings, intermittent internet and a large amount of Imposter...

So we return after our half-term break to bring you another episode of silliness.   Did you miss us? We hope so! Today you can look forward to another segment of “Crimpy’s Tank” along with one of Jen’s “Scary Stories”. We also discuss what it’s like for Chris when he’s “resting” and the incredible history of the construction of London’s tube system. Yes this is UNMISSABLE! Hope you enjoy.. Jen &am...

So it turns out that Valentine’s day and Pancake Day did not fall in the same week, but never mind! This week we bring you a very open episode about the tricky negotiations of marriage and how we overcame a big Valentine’s row. Chris invents yet another ‘segment’ called “Something Current” and we also get to hear how Chris ended up not playing himself dead, in real-life, if that makes any sense at...

It’s all kicking off this week as I have discovered that Chris has secretly been putting the heating on whilst I’ve been out.   But it’s “Even Stevens” as it appears Chris is unhappy about the prospect of Valentine’s Day and what it entails for him as a husband LOL! I shed some light on the Origin of Shrove Tuesday and we learn the context of our very well-known phrase, "Happy as Larry" in this we...

This episode is full of just enough silliness as usual to ease you into the end of the week! There’s a nice dollop of “Grinding Our Geeres” (Still can’t work out how to say that properly) and Chris has invented yet another “segment” which then forced me to compose another two jingles retrospectively.      So look forward to Chris’s Quiz which turns out to have a rather different ending than you mi...

We’re squeezing a lot into 20 mins today and it’s SO COLD! What better to warm me up than to receive an award from my husband for being a great wife! Is it a real award though? That’s for you guys to decide.. Chris invents a new segment called “Crimpy’s Tank” which I had to then hurriedly create a jingle for this week. Origin of Words makes an appearance, and there’s also a culinary corner for you...

Chris has returned from his Pilgrimage a new man!!  We hear some more tales from Chris’s student days, shared with his best mate Rob, and we have another segment of Useless Purchases for you to giggle along with. And don’t you want to hear who Mr Blenkinstein and the Muffin man are?! Oh, of course you do. Hope you enjoy! Jen & Chris   Hosts: Chris Geere, Jennie Sawdon (Geere) Producer: Jennie...

This week we are enjoying a deep old chat about star signs!   We cover Chris’s Piscean tendencies and then he eagerly explores the rather dubious traits of a Scorpio, which I felt he enjoyed rather too much… It’s also time for a new jingle, which means it’s time for a new “segment”!!   “Jen’s Scary Stories” is finally here and I have something to blow your   mind! Hope you enjoy! Jen & Chris  ...

Ep 9. Happy New Geere A New Year, and we are back with a BANG! Chris discusses the difficulties of the January gloom but then we move on to a very funny segment of Culinary Corner where we chat about the amazing menu that he designed for New Year’s Eve. As usual there are stories about memories past and funny words and sayings, please join us for some giggles and some really open and vulnerable ch...

Uh-oh! We’ve had the COVID! We’re back in the UK for Christmas and it finally got us. Not only that, but Chris has eaten his own bodyweight in festive snacks and Baileys.. So this is the “in-Between bit” after Christmas and New Year where nobody knows what day it is or whether we’re supposed to be at work or not.   We’ve got some serious Christmas Grinds and Chris regails us with stories from his...

Merry Christmas one and all!   We have so much festivity packed into this episode it should leave you feeling positively sparkly!! This is the first ever segment of “Chris’s Culinary Corner” complete with new jingle (of course) where he discusses the benefits of an upside-down turkey. Then we have the pleasure of delivering some Christmas wishes for our listeners before it’s time for another of Je...

Here’s a little extra mini episode to tide you over the Christmas week! We didn’t mean to have a falling out, but in the end we thought it was honest and funny to share, so here it is! And David Bowie’s inspirational quote doesn’t get discussed in the end… Enjoy! Jen & Chris   Hosts: Chris Geere, Jennie Sawdon (Geere) Producer: Jennie Sawdon Director: Chris Geere Editor: Jennie Sawdon Musical...

Welcome to Episode 5! How are we already here? Thank you all so much for supporting us in our new venture! This ep we discuss the various agonising challenges of the elf on the shelf and we’ve even modified our jingle with some jingle bells to match the Christmas season! Also, have you ever wondered where the word “green room” originated? Well, so have we! Come and explore all the different option...

Ever had “cotton mouth”?   No, neither have I, but Chris has had enough of it for the both of us apparently… There’s more discussions of Useless Purchases we’ve made, and also a nostalgic trip back to our school days where we pontificate on the various language and terminology we used in the playground. Oh and Chris has (another) story about trying to earn a living as a poor actor in London. We li...

It’s Episode 3 and time for another new segment of our show, “Grinding The Geeres” (and a new jingle - #obvs)  Chris reminisces on his audition for a big UK commercial back in 2006 and you can look forward to learning how best to attract swingers to your supermarket trolley. I know, you’re excited aren’t you?   Hosts: Chris Geere, Jennie Sawdon (Geere) Producer: Jennie Sawdon Director: Chris Geere...

Welcome to Ep 2 of our beloved "Poddo" ILYB!!! We are still riding the wave of our podcast launch last week, and Chris is assessing the rigors of being a 'podcast host'! This week we discuss useful life hacks and Jen regails us with her first segment of "Jen's Origin of Words". As usual, we hope you ENJOY! Jen & Chris    Hosts: Chris Geere, Jennie Sawdon (Geere) Producer: Jennie Sawdon Directo...
