The Mildly Controversial Podcast

Mike chats about an acting job he IS allowed to talk about, Baz's house almost floats away and Mike dreams a sitcom!

BAZ IS BACK! And once again, Mike and Baz are loading a rocket ship with things (or people) that annoy them and f*cking it off to the moon with no debate. In line for the trip this week are one of the world's most famous bands, a world famous beer and plenty of idiotic behaviours. If you'd like to buy Mike that beer for his 50th, you can at https://buymeacoffee.com/mildlypod

Baz is back next week but in the meantime, Mike's wife Emma is back. Last week, Mike & Emma spoke about how trust underpins their 20 year marriage so this week they're putting it all on the line by lying to each other to test if that trust holds. DO NOT miss the best bombshell ending we've ever had on the show!

Baz is away working this week so Mike has recruited his wife, Emma, as guest co-host for this week's episode. Smugly celebrating their 20th year of marriage, Mike & Emma has proclaimed themselves to be relationship experts and are getting judgmental in responding to the nutjobs of Reddit who are seeking relationship advice.

This week Baz & Mike highlight people displaying d*ckhead behaviour including people announcing an unfollow, entitled people and people who say you can't support more than one football team. Also, Mike spends 10 minutes not really talking about something he's not really allowed to talk about because he may get sued. But it IS massive and it IS exciting!

Mike & Baz text each other outrageous statements that the other has to read out and spend 60 seconds defending. What started as an opportunity to stitch each other up, ended with a good discussion about a serious subject - nobody saw that coming!

Baz and Mike are loading a rocket full of stuff they never want to see again and f*cking it off to the moon. Everything from over-cautious parents to jumped up sports officials. Let us know what you think. Leave us a comment or be the first to leave A VOICE NOTE! Everyone seems too scared to leave one!

It's HERE! To celebrate 100 episodes, we are finally forcing Baz to do the whole episode in his "American" accent. We also have some attempts at "British" accents from some of our listeners from across the Atlantic. Throw in Mike & Baz tasting some more snacks from the USA and you've got a belter of an episode - even if it IS just to laugh at Baz's "America...

Mike had an eye watering experience this week which made him think about how ill-prepared we are for old age. Nobody tells you what happens when you get older. Until now! In this episode, Mike & Baz joke their way through some important issues with important messages. Let us know what you think. Do you relate? Do you want more episodes where they cover serious subjects in a not-taking-themselv...

Mike & Baz present their take on the Olympics so far. The good, the bad and the sports that should and SHOULDN'T be part of the Olympics. We even invent a new sport that is better than ANY sport that currently exists.

Mike & Baz are back to what they know best. Middle aged blokes ranting about stuff that shouldn't matter as much as it does! Things that are winding them up this week include cocktail barmen, lycra-clad cyclists and people with poor supermarket etiquette. Let us know what you think of the show, leave us a comment below!

Two clueless Brits with no knowledge of, or interest in, US politics are clearly the best people to decide who should replace Biden as presidential candidate, right? Or maybe Chat GPT could do a better job. This isn't satire or political irony - it's sillier than that

We are BACK for a new series (or 'season' if you're American and wrong). What better way to start the series than with Mike & Baz in the same room sticking horrible stuff in their mouths?! Can Mike FINALLY win an episode of Battle of the Bullsh1tters? What will Mike & Baz be forced to eat as a forfeit? There's only one way to find out! (By that, we mean you'll have to w...

A look back at a real fan favourite for many listeners. No guest, no theme but we got loads of good feedback about this one. Baz offloads things that have been pissing him off recently whilst Mike drops a MASSIVE bombshell U-turn, completely changing his mind on something that he's grumbled about on a couple of previous episodes.

World champion, Olympic Silver Medallist and (frankly) "Strictly" failure IWAN THOMAS, joins Mike & Baz to talk about what REALLY happened at the Olympics, being awarded his World Championship Gold medal in a pub car park and only just beating Mike in a road race. We also find out why Iwan had his Olympic Rings tattoo covered up, how he cheated on Countdown and why he was first voted...

In the second of our looks back at a favourite episode, we head back to January 2023 when Baz & Mike were foolish enough to invite their wives onto the show. One of the most popular episodes with our Facebook followers, we find out who knows Baz & Mike best, their podcast co-hosts, or their actual wives.

In the first of four episodes looking back at our favourite episodes of the podcast so far, we take you back to June 2023 when we talk to our most famous guest ever, Robbie Knox* about Soccer AM, The Happy Hour Podcast, 80s n0nces and getting recognised by Noel (and probably Liam) Gallagher.  *Robbie is officially the most famous guest ever because he was the first guest that Baz's wife had ev...

For the first time EVER it's the last in the series for The Mildly Controversial Podcast. It's been 22 months and over 100 episodes of close to average quality entertainment without a break. Baz is away working again for a few weeks, so Mike & Baz have decided to have a little break til July when they'll be back with new features, new guests and a promise to be 5-6% funnier. For th...

This week, Mike & Baz are joined by Kimmi Kaiy to talk about her TikTok dark humour, having the lowest body count on Only Fans & why she thinks funerals should be replaced by roasts! To save Kimmi from the devil's work (you'll have to watch this episode for the context on that!), head to her YouTube and watch LOADS of videos https://www.youtube.com/@Kimmi_Kaiy To follow Kimmi on al...

This week, Baz is on holiday, so Mike is with guest co-host and friend of the show, Dayna Pereira. Mike and Dayna discuss listener confessions, providing their reactions and judgements on each confession, offering forgiveness and support to those seeking revenge or justice. They discuss - amongst others - the confessions of Becky Barrett (not real name), who is now dating her ex-boyfriend's older...

It's part 2 of Mike & Baz getting drunk enough to talk about things that are so controversial they wouldn't be brave enough to talk about them sober! In this episode, they talk circumcision, the death sentence, woke movie producers and making cigarettes illegal. If you've enjoyed listening to Mike & Baz with a few drinks in them, you can encourage the to drink more by heading to www.buymea...

Baz and Mike have been drinking so they're brave enough to talk about things so controversial they'd not dare to chat about them sober! The boys chat fat people, the wars in Ukraine & Gaza and politics in the UK and USA. It's a bumper one so we've split it into two parts, don't forget to set our podcast to autodownload and set notifications to ping you so you don't miss part 2! If you'd like t...

The idea of this episode was to do our usual cocking about but in an unexpected turn of events, there actually ended up being SOME genuine life advice from a couple of old men who - admittedly - nobody should be taking life advice from! We must point out that if any young and impressionable listeners stumble across this, we cannot be held legally responsible for the mess you make of your future li...

Johan tentatively outs himself as a flat earther, Rick calls a four year old a c*nt and both the boys put a price of the death of a dog. In the second part of our bumper chat with Johan & Rick, we get their Mildly Controversial opinions, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous and we find out that Johan missed the MILDLY part when we asked him to think of his opinions Please review, like, c...

The first of two episodes with friends of the show, Rick & Johan, superstars who are followed by millions on social media.  In this episode, they take us through their lives and their new podcast "The Confessional Podcast". One of them grew up in brothels, the other as a Christian. The perfect combination to host a show where listeners anonymously confess their darkest secrets.
