This week, Mark and Dave risk it all by tackling the truly divisive question:

👉 Is cereal actually a type of soup?

It starts as a quick breakfast chat… and spirals into a full-blown philosophical meltdown involving gazpacho, Weetabix bricks, political soup factions, custard conspiracies, and the real reason you should never trust a Frostie.

In this episode:

– Dave tries to argue that cereal is soup.

– Mark tries to stay sane.

– Custard is dragged into the debate.

– And the phrase “are soup lovers fascists?” is uttered. (Yes, really.)

💡 Ever wondered why Weetabix could build a house?

💡 Want to know how many ways Dave can avoid admitting he’s wrong?

💡 Need to hear a grown man call another man “slippery” over gazpacho?

Then this episode is for you.

This week, Mark and Dave tackle the age-old debate: Is it better to read the book or just watch the movie? Or, in Mark’s case, neither — and in Dave’s case, maybe both, unless he brings up Snow White for no reason again.

Expect:

– Unnecessary tangents (trifles, French cinema, and Paul McCartney lyrics)

– Philosophical takes on why movies aren’t just lazy books

– Open endings vs happy endings

– And at least one failed attempt at being profound

💡 Why do people always say, “The book was better”?

💡 Do they really mean it — or just want to sound clever?

💡 Is the movie ever actually better than the book?

This is one of those episodes where the hosts get lost halfway through, keep digging, and accidentally unearth something quite smart under the nonsense.

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.

Is there a right way to squeeze your toothpaste? This week on Finally, The Meaning of Life, Mark and Dave go head-to-head on one of the most divisive bathroom questions of all time: do you squeeze from the bottom, or the middle?

Dave argues for physics, efficiency, and moral hygiene righteousness. Mark argues for chaos, mischief, and the thrill of the unexpected squeeze.

Is it comfort? Is it chaos? Or is it just laziness in cotton form?

In this sleepwear-themed episode of Finally, The Meaning of Life, Mark and Dave wrestle with the great modern dilemma: Should you be allowed to wear pyjamas all day? From flannel rebellion to duvet fashion statements, they delve deep (far too deep) into the ethics, aesthetics, and existential meaning of all-day PJs.

Dave argues for public decency, structure, and separating bedtime from breakfast. Mark reveals he hasn’t worn pyjamas since childhood and considers them an outdated relic. Together, they ponder the psychological implications of a “pyjama day,” debate whether a duvet should be mandatory if you leave the house, and launch an ambitious sleepwear-based fashion collection for Erling Haaland.

Yes, you read that right.

Topics covered:

The difference between loungewear and public sleepwear

What pyjamas are really designed for

Pajama days: personal freedom or societal collapse?

The Paris Fashion Week duvet collection
