Hang Out with The Maydays

This week when The Maydays Hang Out, at Joe Bill’s mere mention of watching Bear Grylls, the conversation turns to drinking urine. And being unable to pee. Rhiannon Vivian has been painting, but feels guilty for not serving capitalism. Heather Urquhart has been to a funeral and Vinny Francois has been avoiding Bears and Moose in the woods, and Jonathan Nguyen leads an especially convolutedly-titled parlour game.

This week, when The Maydays Hang Out, Heather Urquhart and Mandeep Singh admit to going on holiday inspired by Beatles and Will Smith songs, Aih Mendoza has been preparing for the ImprovisAsian Festival, Liz Peters marvels at the bending of space and time caused by delayed podcast releases, plus Mandeep admits to being unable to eat tablets, and Jen Rowe has a plug that steals the show.
