• The Final BONUS Ball: Space Hoppers, Tumble Dryers & One Last “F**k the Gas Board”
    Jul 4 2025

    For the very last time, it’s your Friday Bonus Ball – with Gordon Smart, Martin Compston, and one last spin through the madness. No guests, no script, a bit of a plan – inanimate object rage, terrible auditions, words of wisdom and the sort of unhinged nonsense that somehow made this podcast magic.

    Thanks for joining us on every weird, wild, hungover, heartfelt Friday. We love you. FTGB.

  • BONUS: Bro & a Brush with Evil
    Jun 27 2025

    It’s a solo mission this week as Gordon Smart flies the Restless Natives flag alone while Martin “Turbo Banana” Compston is somewhere between Vegas, Greenock and Dublin. But fear not—there’s no shortage of brilliant listener stories, wild detours, and even a wee tearjerker or two.

    We've a misheard lyric that may forever ruin a Nelly Furtado classic, tales of disastrous new car day and a chilling story involving a near-miss with Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.

    Plus we welcome a Restless Natives rainbow baby to the world.

    Don’t miss next Wednesday’s episode – it's an important one.

  • Blessed Shower Partners, S**rting next to Andy Murray & Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios
    Jun 25 2025

    This week, whilst Martin's back filming, Gordon's only gone and roped in the most resourceful of rascals, a man who embodies what Restless Natives is all about, the sporting hero, maverick and icon, tennis' most loved bad boy, Nick Kyrgios.

    Nick and Gordon chat having a peak at shower partners, eye watering bills, sharting next to Andy Murray, maintaining a sense of normality whilst at the top of your game and Nick answers the important questions: did he have a lunchbox? And, should fish be skin on or skin off?

  • BONUS: Dua Lipa, A Lion's Push & Germany Memories
    Jun 20 2025

    It’s your Friday Bonus Ball – and the boys are still together, but apart, Martin in Dublin and Gordon in Tisney Studios, opening up the inbox to find more brilliant correspondence from our resourceful rascals at home and overseas.

    They're reminiscing about Germany and Greg McHugh's wine chat, more new car day nostalgia, the never-ending wrath of being the “Scottish guy on set” and will Dua Lipa re-ignite the gnome business?

  • Chocolate Slabs, Seve Ballesteros Autographing Fish and Chips & "School's closed bro"
    Jun 18 2025

    It’s another week of mischief, mayhem, and top-tier nonsense – and the boys are back together (just about).

    Martin’s beaming in from a mystery porta-cabin somewhere near Dublin, Gordon’s dashing between gigs, and we're chatting the art of blagging a wrap party, David Coulthard's dart game, Martin's lad giving him a cracking one liner and Seve Ballesteros autographs some fish and chips.

  • BONUS: Shirtless Auditions & Drama School with Emun Elliott
    Jun 13 2025

    It’s your Friday Bonus Ball – and Emun Elliott is back for round two!

    Following a belter of a main episode earlier this week, Emun kindly stuck around for more chat, confessions, and casting horror stories. From humiliating Coke ad auditions to the trauma of packed screening rooms, he takes us through the unglamorous reality of trying to “make it” – and why the struggle never really stops. Massive thanks to Emun – and roll on Martin’s return next week.

  • The Gold, "S***ging" your Mates' Mum on Stage & Carpentry with Emun Elliott
    Jun 11 2025

    It’s another week of mischief, mayhem, and top-tier nonsense – but this time, we’ve swapped Martin’s majestic eyebrows for another Scottish icon: Emun Elliott.

    Actor, national treasure in the making, and Edinburgh’s answer to Colin Farrell, Emun joins Gordon for a cracking chat full of showbiz highs, gritty theatre lows, and even why he's addinf sawdust to his scripts. From his breakout in Black Watch to the sun-drenched (and very sweaty) sets of The Gold: Series 2, this is a man with a story for every continent.
