The Lager’s Off

Join us as we dive into the world of electric vehicles and the rising costs of diesel! 🚗💨 In this episode, we discuss the challenges of transitioning to electric cars, the impact of fuel prices, and the latest innovations in the automotive industry.

 summary In this episode, Dan and Martin catch up after a six-week break, sharing personal stories about recent losses, holidays in Thailand, and their latest beer adventures. They also dive into their thoughts on the new He-Man movie, childhood nostalgia, and the quirks of Thai culture.  

Dan and Martin are back with the pints in hand and the rants fully loaded. This week: Dan's TikTok Shop treadmill saga takes a hilarious turn (two broken treadmills, one very confused delivery driver), before the lads crack open Unbarred Brewery's Little Apple Pie Pastry Sour to see if it lives up to the hype (spoiler: jury's out). Then Martin goes full rant mode on the bizarre rise of jacket pota...

Dan and Martin are back with another pint-fuelled ramble. This week: England's World Cup exit (and a proper rant about the tournament's US hosting), FIFA's finest fashion disaster of a bald bloke in trainers, Argentina's dark arts, and Martin's ongoing war with British Gas and the Energy Ombudsman. Then it's onto old faces — awkward reunions, Facebook stalking, mistaken identities, and an airport...

Martin and Dan are back and going full tangent this week! They kick off exploring quirky sports like Irish road bowling (yes, that's a real thing) before spiralling into a full-blown nostalgia trip through the 90s — what did the decade even smell like? Along the way they swap ridiculous pub stories, pay tribute to music legends like Glen Campbell and Barry Manilow, and get sidetracked by some genu...

Right, settle in with a cold one because this week it's a solo mission through the absolute fever dream that is a Scottish caravan holiday. It's hot as balls, the kids have gone feral, and somehow a pedal boat nearly claims a life. We're recounting the full holiday saga — from an overzealous lifeguard who's clearly watched too much Baywatch, to a genuinely heroic belly flop into Goose Island that...

The lads are back! This week we're covering a lot of ground — from holiday plans and politics to our questionable home wifi setups and the dream jobs we never landed. Grab a pint and settle in. 🍻 Beer of the Week: We're staying with our brewery tour of Unbarred, and this week we're cracking open Black Rock — a Bourbon-infused stout with some serious depth. Smooth, boozy, and full of character — f...

Most of us are drowning in boring post and relentless customer service nightmares — so this week we tackle both. Thirty phone calls to British Gas and still no resolution? We've been there, and we'll tell you the law that might just save your wallet. We also dive into ignored parking fines, a mysteriously empty postbox, and a bizarre Latter Day Saints leaflet that had us questioning the end times....

This week, Dan and Martin crack open another cold one and tackle the big issues. MAMILs in Lycra — why are there so many of them, where did they come from, and who gave them permission to own the road? Then it's a deep dive into the soul-destroying world of parking fines — the dodgy signage, the two-minute overstays, and whether fighting them is ever actually worth it. And finally, British Gas. Oh...

In this milestone 100th episode, Dan and Martin celebrate in true Lager’s Off fashion — with beer, bizarre kitchen gadgets, summer survival hacks, and plenty of chaotic banter. From spotlighting Brighton’s legendary Dank Juice brew to debating the usefulness of soft serve machines, sandwich toasters, and personal air conditioning, this episode is packed with laughs, questionable life advice, and s...

This week the lads are settling in for a proper nostalgic one 🍺 We're taking a trip back to Saturday night telly in the 90s — the era of Noel Edmonds, Blind Date, and whatever madness the BBC and ITV were throwing at the wall. Was it golden age TV or glorified nonsense? We reminisce, we debate, and we definitely disagree. We also dip into MasterChef — has it lost the plot, or is it still the grea...

🍺 The Lagers Off Podcast | Newbarns Brown Ale, The North-South Divide & A Proper 90s Nostalgia Trip Martin and Dan are back, and this week they're continuing their deep dive into Newbarns Brewery — and this time, it's all about the brown ale. Does it live up to the name? Is it what you'd expect from one of Scotland's most talked-about craft breweries? The lads crack it open and give you their...

This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Martin and Dan are back with another brilliantly chaotic episode 🍻 They dive into the wild world of parking fines (and the questionable logic behind them), share some love for the unsung heroes that are corner shops, and somehow end up discussing the very real possibility of crocodiles in hotel pools… because why not? On the beer front, the lads continue thei...

Welcome back to The Lager’s Off Podcast! 🍻 In this episode, we dive headfirst into the colourful world of LEGO — from the sets we grew up with to how things have evolved over the years… and yes, we may or may not uncover the existence of a secret LEGO club 👀 Along the way, we also chat about Stephen Baldwin’s podcast and share our thoughts (expect a few laughs there), before getting stuck into s...

The van's open, the music's on, and somehow we've ended up in a heated debate about crisps. Classic. This week we're getting nostalgic — diving deep into the golden age of the food van, those legendary roadside and festival staples that somehow always hit different at the wrong time of day. We're talking dodgy locations, mystery sauces, and the kind of meals you'd never admit tasting twice (but ab...

The boys are back and things get messy in this Easter special episode… This week, we’re taking on the ultimate festive challenge: 6 chocolate eggs + an 11% stout in just 30 minutes. From Creme Eggs to whatever else we could get our hands on, it’s sugar, stout, and questionable decisions from start to finish. Was it a good idea? Absolutely not. Did we do it anyway? Of course. Along the way, we dive...

The lads are back. This week we're cracking open Mega Burns by Newbarns of Leith and diving into a big one. We kick things off reacting to the Manosphere documentary — plenty to say about that. Then we launch a brand new feature: The Brewery Tour, and for episode one we headed down to Newbarns of Leith to check out what they're all about. Spoiler: it was a good shout. And of course, the Crisps &am...

This week on Lagers Off, we dive into a wonderfully chaotic mix of topics that somehow all make perfect sense after a couple of beers. From questionable decisions at trampoline parks to the eternal debate over the best cinema snacks, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and a few surprisingly useful tips along the way. We kick things off with stories from the trampoline park—covering the...

This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Dan and Martin tackle the serious business of the best Sunday dinners. Roast potatoes: fluffy or crispy? Yorkshire puddings: essential or overrated? Gravy: flood the plate or light drizzle? Nothing is safe. Martin also reports back from his trip to Norway — what it’s really like, how painful the beer prices are, and whether the scenery makes up for it. The all...

This week on The Lager’s Off Podcast, Martin and Dan crank the volume and dive headfirst into the world of Rage Against The Machine — breaking down what made them explosive, whether they still hit the same today, and why old punks never really mellow out… they just get more opinionated. The lads also return to the all-important (and increasingly controversial) Crisp & Chocolate Ranking, where...

Welcome back to the latest episode of the Lagers Off Podcast! 🍻 This week, the lads dive headfirst into the chaos and nostalgia of the Winter Olympics, relive the absolute madness that was lockdown life, and continue the all-important (and highly controversial) debate on the best UK crisps and nuts.

We’re back and continuing the all-important rankings as we decide the best UK chocolate and crisps — expect strong opinions and questionable takes.

Plus, things turn very serious as we debate the ultimate pie filling, discuss pie parties (yes, they’re a thing), and crac...

In this episode, Dan and Martin talk classic films, movie recommendations, and the unbelievable fact that Martin has never seen The Princess Bride. The conversation covers iconic movies like Jaws, E.T., The Godfather, and Taxi Driver, along with a discussion about the nicest actors in Hollywood, including Tom Hanks and Keanu Reeves. The episode also features a beer tasting from Mills Brewing, brea...

This week on Lager’s Off, Dan and Martin tackle the big issues facing modern middle-aged men — namely why the Kardashians are unavoidable, how cold is too cold indoors, and whether it’s acceptable to wear extra layers in your own house. There’s also a triumphant return of the ongoing rankings, as the lads continue the serious business of sorting the best chocolate bars and crisps in the UK (with s...
