This is the stuff that didn't make the cut. Paul Macleod and Karl Sandland try (and fail, repeatedly) to record a simple intro to These 2 Shouldn't Have a Podcast. Along the way there's a debate about posture versus posteriors, a word that keeps turning into "tropic", an accidental wedding DJ set, a question about what balloons have to do with tech, and a full interrogation about why Karl has never watched wrestling.
We'd already bought the domain by the time we realised we couldn't pronounce the show's name. Too late now.
