Andy & Scott’s social

A short pod this week.
 
Andy and Scott having having a quick catch up on the week whilst preparing to record the much anticipated kitchen nightmares episode.
Has Andy found a way to chill and relax in his week off work?  Has he calmed down after being so stressed over Christmas?
Tune in and find out!

Welcome back!
After reading part of some of Rachels smut last week, Andy has stuck to his word and written his own sexy story for Scott to read.  Surely this cant get weird and awkward can it?  Does Andy have a future as a writer?
Rachel also joins for a bit to add some context from the chapter of her book Scott read the week before.
Scott has had an interesting week following social media, watching stranger things fans whip them selves into a frenzy over nothing with the imaginary episode 9 (Conformity gate).
All that and the usual shananigans, pop your headphones in, get comfy and join the lads for a chat.
 

Happy New Year!
The 1st pod of 2026 and the lads are back and in planning stage.
Andy wants to set some targets for 2026 with some goals for personal growth?  Do you set any resolutions or do you have any plans for 2026?  Get involved and let the lads know!
In a swerve from the norm, Andy has a section for Scott to read from one of Rachs 'adult romance' novels, so we really had to make sure the explicit button was hit this week! Scott is pretty sure that if he'd wrote this, he'd end up on some kind of watch list!
Headphones in, sit back and get involved!
Find us on face book and TikTok, under Andy Scott Social and get involved!

The lads are caught in that dead zone between Christmas and New Year where no one knows what day it is, what is going on, or how to function.
 
Too full, too tired, mildly confused, and not ready for 'normal life' yet.
 
General chat this week after a couple of pints in the local, so hit play, sit back and join us in abandoning the concept of weekdays.
 
Welcome to the grey area.

No theme. No plan. Just vibes. 🎙️
 
This week, the lads ditched the Christmas theme and had a proper catch-up. Andy’s realised he’s got holiday days to burn and is seriously considering disappearing for a few days on his own… a plan he may not have fully thought through once Rachael finds out.
 
They also get an unexpected studio visit from Sonia, who briefly pops in and casually demonstrates how easy it is to put Scott in a choke. Educational. Humbling. Slightly concerning.
 
A relaxed, slightly chaotic chat — exactly how podcasts were meant to be.

This week, the lads talked Krampus and mistletoe history, the darker side of christmas.
However, the wives joined in and had other plans (apologies in advance).
Cue festive chaos, rogue tangents, and a Christmas episode even Krampus would shake his head at.

This week, the lads dived into the annual ritual of pretending we’re all chill about Christmas… while secretly eyeing up the mince pies in Tesco the second Halloween ends.
They're the wise men of the festive debate.........minus the wisdom, gifts, and any sense of direction.
The big festive question: when is it actually acceptable to start celebrating Christmas?
Andy reckons there should be rules — written, laminated rules — about when it’s okay to put the tree up, blast Mariah, or start panic-buying Terry’s Chocolate Oranges. Scott, meanwhile, just wants everyone to calm down and let him enjoy his turkey when he’s good and ready.
 
And then came the real battle:
Is Die Hard a Christmas film?
 
Scott delivered his full rant — complete with logic, passion, and the sort of energy normally reserved for VAR decisions. 
It got heated. It got festive. It got… weirdly deep for two blokes having a beer.
 
If you’re pondering your own Christmas cut-off point (or if you just enjoy grown men arguing about Bruce Willis in a vest), this one’s for you.
Sit back and chill, press play, and get involved.
 

Strap on your water wings - this week the lads are going off at the deep end.
Scott bravely plummets into the hadal zone — the underwater nightmare trench where sunlight, joy, and common sense go to die. It’s essentially the ocean’s version of “don’t come in here,” so naturally Scott went in anyway.
Andy then unleashes a set of sea stories so distressing they may qualify as emotional waterboarding. Expect mystery splashes, cursed ships, and at least one creature that definitely hasn’t been approved by science.
Next up: The Quiz. A “Top 10 Highest-Grossing Sea Movies” extravaganza. Listeners are legally (OK, emotionally) obligated to grab a pen and paper and play along to see if they can do better thank Scott. Spoiler: they absolutely can.
And of course, the finale: mermaids. Majestic. Mythical. Almost certainly plotting something. Andy dives into tales of these fishy temptresses while Scott tries not to picture one sliding headfirst through the studio door.
