This week, join Alex & Dan not on the sofa, but the pub - as they celebrate their 5th birthday raising a pint glass or two! As per their usual annual tradition, it's an Ask Me Anything (AMA), where they invite and gather the listener community's questions and queries - from damaged VCRs, life skills via the British educational system, the question of potatos (look like one or feel like one.... a tough question!), the versatility of a British Crumpet (!) to murderous rabbits, 90s Brit music classics and much much more. The dynamic south coast duo asked for your questions - and you delivered! Sit back, relax and enjoy a pint with the south coast duo in the boozer! - Also a MASSIVE thank you to all of the listeners for their questions and contributions - it made for a brilliant episode and the channel and its success really couldn't have been without you lot! Much love! #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan are exploring a thought-provoking topic that affects all of us who rely on the internet - the dead Internet theory. Essentially, this theory suggests that the internet as we know it could collapse due to a variety of factors, leaving us without access to the vast amount of information and connectivity we currently enjoy. As content creators and podcasters, we're particularly interested in how such an event could impact our ability to reach our audiences and share our ideas. But beyond that, the dead Internet theory raises important questions about our dependence on technology, the role of the internet in society, and what we can do to protect against potential threats. So stick around, and let's dive into this intriguing topic together. #GITS

This week, Alex & Dan dive back into the Quantum Realm thanks to the convenient help of Cassie Lang and team Pym - from best bits to not so best bits - well, you know the deal....

Discussing what this means for the remaining film release schedule, some potential misdirection at the end of the film and whether we want an Ant-Man 4...thanks to the power of social media, we have your comments and questions too! Grab your suit - we're going subatomic! #GITS

We're going back into the Weekly Roundup With Alex & Dan Vault and this week, it's the phenomenal Mandela Effect! The South Coast Duo hand in their homework papers after being sent some by a TWRAD listener; they provide an overview of the mass cultural phenomenon from world events, movies to popular icons and logos. From Mickey Mouse and his lack of trouser suspenders, a set of absent famous phrases from E.T and Forrest Gump - to the origins of the theory around one of the most celebrated icons of modern history - Nelson Mandela himself. Both Alex & Dan have experienced this mind bending (potential alternate reality!) phenomena and share theirs - and thanks to the power of social media - some of yours! Strap on your tin hat from the last episode on Conspiracy Theories - because this one is a head scratcher! P.s - this week has a seagull themed blooper reel to be proud of! #weloveanimals #sendhelp #fightingbirds #ornathologists #getinthesea Get interactive! Share your thoughts or comments on the epi

This week, Alex & Dan return to ruin your favourite films by discussing some popular movie plot holes! What just doesn't make sense when you break it down? How can a T-Rex levitate? Why aren't Cows used as batteries? How does Kevin order pizza when the phone lines are apparently not working.....? Make it make sense - and we are barely scratching the surface! It's also an uncomfortable trip back to 1998 for Alex, as he goes on a date to the cinema... The south coast duo also plot a visit to the nearby swimming pool dressed up as Ariel and Usula! Just another epsiode from the dyanmic duo of Southsea! #GITS

It's a new year and Alex & Dan are once more going down the rabbit hole! Imagine a reality where our existence is not as concrete as it seems, but rather a complex, hyper-realistic simulation created by an advanced intelligence. It sounds like a fine story, but how likely is it that we are all living in a simulation? Not only is it possible that we are living in a simulation, it’s definitely possible. Almost 50% possible! We get philosophical, talking about pre-destination, luck (or being unlucky!), fate, religion, science, extra-terrestrials, The Mandela Effect, Crazy Coincidences, Folklore, Ghosts and the supernatural - this is the episode where it all comes together! Sit back, relax and join us on a crazy ride through the simulation theory! #Onthetopic #TWRAD  #Southcoastsounds #Conspiracytheories #SimulationTheory #MandeaEffect #unexplained #rabbithole #science #popularculture What do you think about Simulation Theory?
