This week, Keith is reporting live from across the pond — making this the very first transatlantic episode of Middle Raged! 🇺🇸✈️🇬🇧🇮🇪

Join Adam and Keith as they dive into the quirks, chaos, and contradictions of American life, comparing it (grumpily, of course) with the UK and Ireland.

From monster-sized trucks and relentless air conditioning to the shocking cost of Marmite in the States, no topic is safe from the withering glare of the middle-aged, mildly furious duo.

Human societies have evolved over millennia, passing significant milestones such as the Classical Age, the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Age.

Alas, those centuries of progress have come to a screeching halt.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Age of Incompetence.

In this episode, Adam and Keith delve into the world of Help & Support - a misnomer if ever there was one. The chaps cover every frustrating element from waiting on hold to companies delegating support to their own customers via forums.

In this episode, Adam and Keith tackle the subject of disclaimers and consumer advice - almost all of it completely absurd. Why are we told to drink responsibly by companies peddling alcoholic beverages, and who gets to decide what constitutes 'responsible'? Are we heading towards a world where the Alcohol Police patrol the tables in every Wetherspoons? Maybe.

Warning: This episode may contain rage.

In this episode, Adam and Keith focus on the fact that social etiquette is on the wane. With many, many examples, the chaps begin by listing their specific gripes about society's selfishness when it comes to using mobile phones and driving. Somehow, they forgot to mention people who use a mobile phone while driving.

In this episode, Adam initially gets hot under the collar about his recent travel woes before the chaps get down to discussing the serious subject of time. It's such a valuable and, indeed, finite resource but it's stolen from us every single day by time thieves. This makes Adam and Keith very angry indeed.

In this episode, Adam and Keith question why so many aspects of modern life are immeasurably more complicated than they need to be. A simple trip to the toilet, for example, should never require an instruction manual. Nor should parking a bloody car.
