It’s the fluffiest philosophical comedy showdown yet: Cats or Dogs – who’s truly man’s best friend? In this episode, Mark and David wrestle with loyalty, aloofness, and the deeply personal politics of pet ownership.

Mark argues that cats are sleek, mysterious Zen masters who don’t need your approval. Dave, on the other hand, believes dogs are devoted, noble creatures who don’t care if you’re a mess — they’ll still love you. The debate spirals into tales of childhood betrayal, questionable gift-giving by pets, and the psychology of purring vs panting.

💡 Are cats just housemates who don’t pay rent?

💡 Are dogs the emotionally needy flatmates you can’t evict?

💡 What do smoked salmon and emotional trauma have in common?

🐾 This isn’t just about pets. It’s about who we are, who we love, and why we keep letting things lick our faces.

🎁 We all know someone who does it. Maybe you've done it yourself. But... is re-gifting actually wrong? This week, Mark and Dave wrestle with one of the great modern moral dilemmas: if you pass on an unwanted present, are you being practical—or just plain heartless?

From Prosecco bottles doing the rounds, to vintage t-shirts with suspicious stains, and even wedding gift strategies that feel more like criminal plots, this episode dives deep (perhaps too deep) into the shame, the lies, and the occasional usefulness of re-gifting.

🎧 Expect:

– A role-play gone hilariously wrong

– Dave’s scandalous Prosecco confession

– Mark’s inability to throw anything away

– Tips (or warnings?) for your next birthday present
